Medical device manufacturers that use Trilliant™ XR Lead Replacement Thermoplastics, a more sustainable shielding solution, can avoid the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead, while achieving the performance necessary to protect patients and healthcare workers from exposure to harmful radiation. Global medical device OEM reduces costs and environmental impact with Trilliant™ XR.

The new device utilizes PolyOne's soft-touch GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material that provides smooth, silky texture for comfort. Its patent-pending technology combines cellular voice with geo-location capability in a device small enough to be worn on a wrist.

Using the new bio-based Mevopur polymer solutions instead of conventional materials,” says Volker Dickfeld, senior marketing manager, healthcare global, “can help manufacturers of pharmaceutical packaging, medical devices and related products reduce their carbon footprint. Documented change control beyond CAS number is practiced and Registered Drug Master File (DMF) / Device Master File (MAF) documentation is maintained.
