Gore Tex mechanical properties

Sep 26, 2005 5 Replies

Hi,



Have you an idea where I can find mechanical properties of GoreTex ? I'm conceiving a tool for an intracardiac operation and I need flexural and tensile modulus of GoreTex monofilament (used for suture) ? The other name is ePTFE.



Thank you and have a good day !
