Capsule filters offer a ready-to-use solution for water, buffers, and reagents used in a broad array of medical devices. Capsule filters can also serve to protect equipment and mitigate odors as part of air flow management. The pleated internal filter design optimizes the effective filtration area (EFA), delivering maximum performance while maintaining a compact footprint within the system. Saint-Gobain Medical offers customization in size, material, and configuration to address the unique challenges of each application.
Housing materials include polypropylene (PP), gamma-stable PP, and polyethylene
Nylon endcaps available
Manufactured by thermal bonding, no adhesives used

Typical applications
Endoscope Reprocessing: Pre-filtration and final filtration (sterilizing grade) of water and cleaning reagents used in endoscope reprocessing.
Organ Preservation: Particulate removal from organ preservation solutions.
Point-of-Use Water Filtration: Sterilizing grade point-of-use water filtration for clinical, dental, and other critical settings where exposure to bacteria and other pathogens is of concern.
In Vitro Diagnostics: Particulate removal of samples, reagents, and cleaning fluids to protect IVD equipment and extend maintenance cycles. Odor mitigation and vapor control via in-line exhaust filtration.
Flow Cytometry: Sheath fluid, air, and cleaning fluid filters to mitigate interference in the diagnostic assessment and maximize uptime in flow cytometers.
