Polymer & Textile Processing Expertise

Solesis brings together Secant Group’s advanced textile technologies and Polyzen’s specialized polymer processing to create custom components for medical devices and life sciences applications with Charter Medical’s single-use technologies. Our capabilities span knitting, braiding, weaving, extrusion, molding, coating, forming, and more. Across these technologies, our teams pair material expertise with precision manufacturing to tailor structures, geometries, and performance to support complex design requirements. Solesis is a latex-free facility.

Film Extrusion

Creates single and multi-layer films with controlled barrier, permeability, and mechanical properties. Used in applications including structural heart devices, vascular grafts, hernia repair systems, and other MedTech devices.

Coating & Lamination

Enhances durability, functionality, and device integration through surface treatments and multi-layer constructions. Used in applications including vascular grafts, catheter and delivery systems, implantable textiles, and drug delivery technologies.

Dip Molding & Dip Coating

Produces seamless, thin-wall geometries and conformal coatings for complex medical applications. Supports applications including catheter components, sheaths, balloon-based systems, and other minimally invasive medical technologies.

Thermoforming, RF Welding, and Port Welding

Creates complex three-dimensional structures and high-integrity seals for medical devices and assemblies. Used in applications including surgical and implantable device components, catheter-based delivery systems, fluid management technologies, and single-use systems.

Technologies (Impulse, Constant Heat, Tube )

Used to create specific film types, tubing interfaces, and poly pouches, or joining compatible materials to create edge seals, chambers, or fluid pathways for single-use containers and assemblies.

Slitting, Sheeting, and Die Cutting Film

Used to cut film components to specified sizes and shapes.

Solvent and UV Bonding

Joins materials using medical grade solvents or UV adhesives depending on material compatibility.

Polymer Compounding & Custom Formulations

Tailors material properties to specific mechanical, physical, and degradation requirements. Used in applications including bioresorbable technologies, controlled drug delivery systems, vascular and structural heart therapies, implantable medical devices, and advanced therapeutic solutions.

Tubing & Balloon Fabrication

Engineers precision components for catheter, diagnostic, and drug delivery applications

Knitting

Knitted fabrics deliver lightweight, conformable, and highly elastic structures. We control thickness, pore size, and elongation to develop textiles suited for applications where bulk, compliance, or controlled stretch are critical.

Braiding

Our braiding processes offer unmatched variability in mechanical properties and geometry, producing components with controlled radial expansion, torsional stiffness, and flexibility. Ideal for vascular and neurovascular applications requiring precise dimensional control.

Weaving

Woven textiles offer dimensional stability and low porosity with superior strength. Our woven structures are optimized for implantable fabrics, grafts, and reinforcement materials requiring uniform architecture and reproducible performance.

Polymer Processing & Product Technologies

Through Polyzen's polymer expertise, Solesis delivers flexible, scalable, and precise material solutions for medical and biopharma device manufacturing.

Our capabilities include:

Film Extrusion — single- and multi-layer films for barrier, permeability, or strength control
Coating & Lamination — surface treatments and multi-layer bonding for enhanced durability and device integration
Dip Molding & Dip Coating — thin-wall, seamless geometries and conformal coatings
Thermoforming & RF Welding — complex 3D geometries, seals, and high-integrity assemblies
Polymer Compounding & Custom Formulations — tuned to mechanical, physical, or degradation requirements
Tubing & Balloon Fabrication — engineered for catheter, drug delivery, and diagnostic applications

Post-Processing for Medical Device Solutions

Medical device textiles and polymers require precise and controlled finishing to become high-performing components in devices such as stents, hernia meshes, or synthetic ligaments.

At Solesis, we combine deep expertise in biomaterials and polymer processing to deliver advanced post-processing solutions that clean, shape, stabilize, and fine-tune textile properties such as thickness and permeability. These processes ensure every material maintains its structural and functional integrity within the human body. Techniques Include:

Calendering

Coating

Crimping

Heat Treatment

Laser Cutting (2D and 3D)

Post-Finishing and Final Packaging

Scouring

Stitching

Ultrasonic Welding, Sealing, and Sewing
