Zeus, Inc., an international leader in material science and the manufacture of fluoropolymer tubing, announces that its entire Biomaterials Facility, including synthesis and processing, is now ISO Class 7 certified.
Staffed with a team of leading scientists, engineers, and quality control professionals, the 5,000 sq ft facility is dedicated exclusively to the extrusion, analysis, and characterization of bioabsorbable polymers and other advanced materials.
"The certification is paramount in that all processes, from conception to production, for our bioabsorbable line will take place in a very tightly controlled environment. Going beyond a standard clean room, our ISO Class 7 Certification spans the entire square footage of the facility," said Dr. Bruce Anneaux, Corporate Manager, Research & Development.
All aspects of bioabsorbable processing occur at the Biomaterials Facility, including raw material handling, synthesis, compounding, extrusion, inspection, and packaging. In addition to ISO Class 7 Certification, the facility is ISO 13485 certified with state-of-the-art analytical and testing apparatus.
"For our customers, the Class 7 Certification provides added confidence that they are receiving the highest-quality products and is a testament to Zeus' continued efforts to remain at the forefront of material science," said Josh Ridley, Business Development Manager, Biomaterials.
