Profile: AdvanSource Biomaterials Corporation is a world-class polymer based materials company focused on customer-driven solutions for the medical device and pharmaceutical industries. We develop innovative biomaterials, which may be used as structural engineering polymers or as coatings for a wide range of material substrates. Our proprietary materials have a history of use in both short term & long term implant applications such as stents, artificial hearts, catheters and vascular access ports. Our product offerings are commercially available under tradenames, ChronoFlex, ChronoThane, HydroMed, HydroThane and Polyblend. We have developed ChronoFlex® AL, a family of biodurable thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers. These medical-grade elastomers have been specifically synthesized to overcome the in vivo formation of stress-induced microfissures. HydroThane is our family of highly absorbent thermoplastic, hydrophilic, aliphatic, polyurethane elastomers which allows for targeted water absorption. HydroThane hydrophilic polymers have water absorption capacities ranging from 5% to 25% with hardnesses of 80A to 93A. They exhibit a rapid water absorption rate and good retention of mechanical properties when hydrated. In addition, HydroThane pellets are elastomeric even when dehydrated, thus requiring no special storage conditions.

The company was founded in 1993, has revenues of USD 1-5 Million, has ~20 employees.
