The distinctive color chosen for the several components of the personal care device presented unexpected challenges and setbacks, however. This combined additive and color technology not only solved the color harmony challenge across all polymers used in the various components of the personal care device, but also accelerated testing because the Cesa WithStand antimicrobial material used had been pre-tested for polymeric integrity. The resulting Smartbatch solution was developed specifically for the OEM’s patient mobility product, but was so effective that the OEM has plans to incorporate this technology into additional devices currently being developed.
