Featured Story Read More More TPE in Medical Device Saves $175,000 After turning to Avient for help, a manufacturer successfully reduces costs for a new valve insert by $175,000. More Radiation Shielding Without Lead Global medical device OEM outpaces competition with non-lead CT scanner components.

Generally speaking, the more frequently a part is exposed to a stress cracking agent, the more opportunities the agent has to penetrate or diffuse into the polymer network and cause damage. In this study, Avient’s Trilliant™ HC8900 and Edgetek™ ET8900 thermoplastics were tested alongside competitive materials used for various medical and consumer device enclosures. Identifying features of the various materials used in this study are summarized below in Table 2.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives for Medical Devices and Diagnostic Equipment Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives help protect and enhance the performance of polymers used in applications, such as medical housings, drug delivery devices, syringes and needles, diagnostics, and catheters. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.
