Application of thermoplastics in medical devices

As a very important material, plastic has been widely used in the medical field. From the packaging of medicines and pharmaceuticals, to disposable medical devices (such as drip bottles, syringes, etc.), non-disposable medical devices (such as meters, surgical instruments, etc.), there are plastic traces.

In 2011, the global medical device market exceeded US$310 billion, and China's demand for medical plastics has grown at a rate of 15% to 18% per year over the past 15 years. As the population ages, the environment deteriorates and people's expectations for health care continue to increase, they will drive continued growth in the domestic disposable medical device market.

The promotion of plastics in the production of medical devices has advantages in improving product performance, testing new products, saving non-ferrous metals, simplifying processing, increasing labor productivity and reducing costs. Plastic medical equipment has many advantages, and its market influence will become larger and larger in the future medical field. Medical device designers are expanding their knowledge of new thermoplastic materials and are constantly developing them for use in medical products.

There are several advantages to using plastics in the medical field :

1, light weight, use of labor, is conducive to reducing the fatigue caused by doctors for a long time. More suitable for human blood muscle tissue, so more effective.

2, good toughness, strong penetration resistance, durable, some plastics can also be used normally at high temperatures.

3, with transparency, can be better observed in the medical process, especially during the operation.

4, easy to shape, suitable for the production of a variety of shapes, structures, complex medical equipment and supplies, and only use low-cost production processes. Corrosion or color change will not occur with disinfectant or high temperature sterilization.

5. Compared with other raw materials such as metals, the cost is low, and it is more suitable for the production of disposable wear and tear. After being disinfected, it is used as a packaging material to help reduce the risk of infection.

6. Compared with fragile materials such as ceramics or glass, plastics are safer to use, especially as packaging materials.

In addition to traditional medical plastics such as PP, PVC, PE, silicone rubber, etc., which are commonly used in the medical device industry, some high-performance materials such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), biocompatible polycarbonate (PC), and thermoplastic elastomers ( TPE) and so on are important materials for advancing the development of the medical device industry.

Among them, PEEK has strong corrosion resistance, hydrolysis resistance, chemical resistance, especially inertness to body fluids, and can be applied to implantable medical instruments that alleviate the suffering of patients, such as gastrointestinal stents and implantable body fluid pumps, eliminating Traditional puncture brings pain to patients; medical grade polycarbonate is the first choice for capsule endoscope housing materials because it meets the advantages of biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and non-breakability.

The material of the Poly Cellon medical grade is PPH02, which is a non-filled PP material.
