Plas­tic parts for medi­cal technology

In medi­cal tech­no­logy, the highest demands are placed on the proces­sing and mate­rial for the use of plas­tic parts. High surface finis­hes, very tight tole­ran­ces, abso­lute free­dom from chips and burrs, certi­fi­ca­tes and tracea­bi­lity are the daily busi­ness here, which plas­tic parts must meet in order to fulfill the requi­re­ments of use in medi­cal manu­fac­tu­ring. To ensure that the plas­tic parts produ­ced meet these requi­re­ments, special expe­ri­ence and exper­tise in manu­fac­tu­ring are needed. Through our long-stan­ding part­ner­ships with many well-known compa­nies in this indus­try, we have accu­mu­la­ted a wealth of expe­ri­ence and relia­ble know-how with which to meet the ever-incre­asing demands of this sector.

In medi­cal & medi­cal device tech­no­logy, mainly plas­tics and mate­ri­als are used that have the follo­wing properties:

• physio­lo­gi­cal safety (FG – Food­Grade, FDA or EU confor­mity accor­ding to EU 10/2011, 1935/2004 and 2023/2006 GMP)
• biocom­pa­ti­ble (MG – Medi­cal­Grade, biocom­pa­ti­ble accor­ding to ISO 10993 or USP Class VI)
• good chemi­cal resis­tance – resistant to many clea­ning agents
• Hydro­ly­sis & Steri­liza­tion Resistance
• High mecha­ni­cal strength, stiff­ness and dimen­sio­nal stability
• low mois­ture absorption
• Tempe­ra­ture resis­tance over a wide tempe­ra­ture range
• Laser marking possi­ble – Traceability
