The order reflects the demand of a single customer through to May 31, 2010.

Approximately $300,000 will be billed prior to December 31, 2009.

AorTech chief executive Frank Maguire said: "This polymer order represents a step forward in the growth of the recurring manufacturing revenues associated with our polymer business.

"As AorTech's polymer business segment continues to mature, it will be augmented by our Elast-Eon-based medical device component business.

"This increase in polymer demand is comfortably within the capacity of our state-of-the-art 1,900 square metre manufacturing facility, which since its opening in January of 2006 has maintained a perfect quality and delivery record."
