(Glassworking) An intermediate stage or shape of a glass object which is produced in more than one stage. for forming a medical device balloon is formed of polymeric polymeric /poly·mer·ic/ (pol?i-mer´ik) exhibiting the characteristics of a polymer. pol·y·mer·ic adj. 1. Having the properties of a polymer. 2. material and has an elongation elongation, in astronomy, the angular distance between two points in the sky as measured from a third point. The elongation of a planet is usually measured as the angular distance from the sun to the planet as measured from the earth. at break which is not more than 80% of the elongation of the bulk polymeric material. Balloons prepared from the parisons provide higher inflation durability than balloons prepared from conventional parisons of the same material. |
