Medical Product Manufacturing News article on new guayule balloons
TechDevice Corp. has introduced minimally invasive medical balloons made out of guayule. Medical Product Manufacturing News calls this a BREAKTHROUGH because now balloon catheters with desirable characteristics such as tensile strength and durability are available without the hevea latex health risk. See the article here.
I am really glad to see these posts. I have been following the progress with Yulex and Guayule since some of the early work with USDA. I am a big fan of those companies that are persevering with introducing new crops and bringing more biodiversity to agriculture. I am working on a website that talks about new crops and biobased products if anyone is interested. http://www.biobasednews.com
Can you please look into making balloons for balloon twisters. If not, please contact me and help me get started with your technology. Thanks
