Tailored implant solutions
for specialized applications
Covered Stents & Frames
Our experienced engineers can assist you in developing covered stents and frames with unique shapes and profiles and wall thicknesses as low as 20 micron (0.0008″). Our expertise in sintering, sewing, laminating, dip casting, heat setting, and injection molding can help create the medical device prototype you need.
Clinical areas we serve include:
- Vascular
- Structural Heart
- Gastrointestinal
Stents
Aptyx has extensive experience in the design, development, and contract manufacturing of medical stents whether metallic or polymer based. We specialize in manufacturing medical devices intended to open narrowed tubes and vessels within the body to allow adequate flow of blood or fluid to pass.
In addition to stents, we also develop and manufacture medical stent delivery systems. Aptyx has experience with the following variety of stents:
- Stent Grafts
- Peripheral Vascular Stents
- Crossing Covered Stents
- Flow Diverters
- Ureteral & Urethral Stents
- Esophageal Stents
- Tracheal Stents
- Biliary Stents
Medical Textiles
Aptyx continuously develops and manufactures innovative biomedical textiles and materials for cardiovascular, tissue engineering, and other surgical applications. Most biomedical materials used in the development or manufacturing process are found in:
- Braided Materials
- Knitted & Woven Materials
- Non-Woven Materials
Bioabsorbables
Using a bioabsorbable polymer in your medical device can allow surgical patients to heal without needing a second surgery to remove the device. These devices often lead to better surgical outcomes and lower treatment costs. Aptyx can tailor the composition of the specific bioabsorbable monomers or polymers for your device to meet specific requirements for absorption speed, tensile strength, stiffness, or toughness.
Some devices with bioabsorbable polymers we have developed & manufactured include:
- Vascular closure and repair devices
- Absorbable stents & braid, both components and subassemblies
- Fasteners, anchors, & screws and their delivery systems
- Tympanostomy tubes (Ear tubes)

Materials expertise for your implanted device
Optimized material selection for advanced applications
Aptyx can support the design and material selection for your implanted device. When developing a medical implant, selecting the proper materials requires an understanding of the biological, physical, and chemical characteristics needed. Our material selection process considers the entire lifecycle of a product.
Material Selection Considerations
- Physical properties
- Biocompatibility
- Changes to material after implanted
- Willingness of supplier to sell raw materials for implanted use
- Processing limitations
- Cost
- Sterilization impact
- Shelf-life durability
Our Implanted Material Experience
- PTFE and ePTFE
- Bioabsorbable / Absorbable
- Polyurethanes
- Liquid Crystalline Polymer (LCP)
- Polyester
- Silicone Rubber
- PEEK
- Polysulfone
- Nitinol
- Stainless Steel
- Other metals such as: Titanium, Cobalt-Chromium, Gold, Platinum, Platinum-Iridium

What our customers are saying
One particular capability where they really stand above competitors is project management. This is done in a professional way, and we have quite high complexity involved. They are doing an outstanding job.
Global Commodity Manager / Multi-national Medical Device Company
The Aptyx team did an excellent job converting brass gears to plastic. Because of the design challenges, deep expertise in gears and over-molding was crucial. They also converted an expensive, labor-intensive part with quality issues to two-shot molding, which dramatically reduced cost, improved quality, and easily met the production needs. Apytx came through for us because of very good program management and good technical expertise.
