Syensqo has recently announced that its Eviva® Polysulfone (PSU) has been selected by BIOTRONIK, a global leader in medical technology, for use in the header of its latest Amvia Sky pacemaker models. Eviva® PSU was chosen thanks to its outstanding biocompatibility, enabling indefinite implantation inside the human body, and its exceptional transparency, which supports precise electrode placement during surgical implantation.

Beyond transparency, Eviva® PSU offers excellent mechanical strength and processability, allowing it to be molded into the intricate components required for pacemaker headers. It is manufactured at Syensqo’s ISO 13485 certified Alpharetta, Georgia site, with processes validated for medical applications and testing conducted in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.
“BIOTRONIK’s adoption of Eviva® PSU for its pacemaker header is a powerful endorsement of our Solviva® Biomaterials portfolio. The material’s combination of transparency, biocompatibility, and reliable processability provides critical value for life-saving cardiac implants.” Federico Baruffi, Global Marketing Manager at Syensqo
The application of Eviva® PSU in pacemakers reflects a broader trend toward miniaturization, longevity, and remote monitoring in cardiac devices. The material also shows potential in neurostimulation devices, such as brain stimulators.
BIOTRONIK’s selection of Eviva® PSU underscores Syensqo’s commitment to supporting medical device innovation with high-performance materials.
