Medical Plastics
The dental market requires biocompatible materials for applications
like dental grips, gingiva formers and healing caps. The product range
also includes biocompatible materials for dental applications. We have
one of the industry's most extensive ISO 10993 and USP Class VI compliant
testing and certification packages. Medical Plastics deliver chemically
resistant polymers, with superior combinations of strength and stiffness.
They are intended for applications that can remain in contact with human
tissue or bodily fluids for up to 30 days. A maximum of 180 days is possible
for dental healing caps with written approval.
LIFE SCIENCE GRADES
Development time is key factor when bringing medical applications to the
market.
BIOCOMPATIBILITY
Medical Plastics successfully passed a series of biocompatibility tests,
run in order to check their compliance with both United States Pharmacopeia
(USP) and ISO 10993-1 guideline requirements for Biocompatibility Testing
of Materials.
TRACEABILITY / RELIABILITY
Medical Plastics come with full traceability from raw material to stock
shape. They are compatible with most common sterilization techniques such
as autoclaving, ethylene oxide, gamma irradiation and hot air sterilization
up to 180°C, and show good transparency to X-rays.
