Medical plastics
Medical plastics, or medical-grade plastics, are a specific category of plastics that are used in the manufacturing of medical devices, equipment, and other healthcare-related products.
Medical plastics play a crucial role in modern healthcare due to their versatility, durability, sterilizability, and ability to meet the stringent regulatory requirements of the medical industry. For example, polycarbonate (PC) used in medical device housings and parts requiring transparency and impact resistance. Polyurethane (PU/TPU) is used in catheters, wound dressings, and other flexible medical devices.
