Polygon To Offer Carbon Fiber Reinforcements For Devices

Feb 07, 2011, Walkerton, Indiana

Composite Halo Fixation Device

Polygon Company is proud to announce the expansion of their carbon fiber offerings. Carbon fiber is well known in the automotive and aerospace industries where it is prized for excellent weight to strength ratios.

It is also a superior choice for reinforcing medical devices such as backboards, stretchers, wheelchairs, or any device which must support patient weight. Metal reinforcing bars may be converted to carbon fiber to reduce weight and improve structural rigidity.

What is commonly called “Carbon fiber” is actually a composite material composed of a thermoset polymer base reinforced with carbon fibers. Polygon has years of experience working with these and other fibers such as Kevlar® and fiberglass in multiple industries from bearings to tool handles.

Multiple geometries are available to fit the needs of your project. Polygon has over sixty years experience in converting metal applications to composite materials and can be your engineering partners to assure your product will remain confidential and proprietary. Combined with flexible intellectual property agreements, Polygon can be anywhere from a mere supplier to your silent engineering partner for composite material integrations.

Polygon pioneered composite laparoscopic tubing and continues to be an innovative engineering partner working with medical device manufacturers to produce unique composite material solutions.

Kevlar® is a registered trademark of the DuPont™ company and affiliates.
