With robust raw material testing and a comprehensive change control policy, these medical-grade concentrates and pre-colored formulations can help minimize risk and avoid non-compliance. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. 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.

Ergonomic Enhancements TPE soft grips can also optimize medical practitioners’ control of surgical instruments during procedures and protect expensive handheld diagnostic devices. This advanced material provides cleanliness by avoiding cross-linking agents used in curing vulcanized rubber. In addition, the formulation meets ISO 15759 requirements for medical infusion equipment and is manufactured in an ISO 13485 facility.

Specific examples will be highlighted to provide performance attributes. Medical grade SBC compounds have transparent or translucent appearance and are suitable for medical tubing applications. SBC compounds provide properties suitable for certain medical and personnel care applications, which currently mainly use silicone and PVC for performance and cost reasons.
