Permanent electrospun materials for long-term implantable devices
The Kalyptix® platform for permanent electrospun materials is designed for applications where tissue integration, stability and durable device performance matter. It helps medical device teams develop implantable fibre structures, coverings and materials intended to remain in the body and support long-term function.
For cardiovascular, oral and maxillofacial, cell therapy and other implantable applications, Kalyptix® permanent electrospun materials are designed with development, validation, scale-up and manufacturing in mind.

What the Kalyptix® platform is
Permanent electrospun materials for tissue integration and durable performance
Kalyptix® electrospun, permanent non-woven materials for long-term implantable medical devices are designed to remain stable over time while supporting functions such as tissue integration, barrier performance, controlled permeability, mechanical support or durable device coverage.
By controlling polymer selection, fibre architecture and material structure, Kalyptix® materials can be configured around the requirements of long-term implantable applications. The platform can also work alongside Caladrix® where permanent electrospun coverings are needed for stents, textiles or other device structures.
For device teams, Kalyptix® provides a way to design permanent electrospun materials around tissue response, durability, device integration and scale-up requirements.
The Kalyptix technology offers permanent implantable materials that seamlessly integrate with surrounding tissue. Non-woven Kalyptix scaffolds can support tissue integration directly into the material, replace damaged tissue long-term and provide mechanical strength or enhance the integration of long-term devices through durable coverings.
Why Kalyptix® Matters
Designed for applications where the material needs to remain and perform long term
Some implantable devices require electrospun materials that do not resorb, but remain in place and support device function over time. In these cases, the material must be designed for long-term tissue integration, durability, mechanical performance and controlled interaction with the surrounding environment.
The Kalyptix® platform supports this by enabling permanent electrospun materials to be engineered around the application. This is especially relevant where teams need stable implantable structures, durable coverings or barrier materials that can be developed, validated, scaled and manufactured for long-term use.
What Kalyptix® Enables
Permanent material performance designed around the application
The Kalyptix® platform gives device teams a way to design permanent electrospun materials around long-term implant performance, tissue integration and device requirements.
Long-term tissue integration
Kalyptix® materials can be engineered to support tissue integration into or around the electrospun structure, helping the material contribute to the function of the implant rather than acting only as a passive covering.
Durable device coverage
The platform can be used to create permanent electrospun coverings where the material needs to remain stable and support device performance over time.
Controlled porosity and permeability
With tuned fibre architecture and material structure, Kalyptix® membranes support applications where control over tissue infiltration, fluid movement, permeability or barrier behaviour is important.
Mechanical stability
Kalyptix® materials are designed around strength, flexibility and long-term load or stress requirements, depending on the application.
Combination with other technology platforms
Where the application requires layered, hybrid or multi-functional material structures, Kalyptix® membranes can also be combined with our other technology platforms.
