Medical devices

The versatile properties of polypropylene and polyethylene along with their cost competitiveness and easy shaping during conversion make them the first choice in applications such as syringes, catheters, needle hubs, needle protectors, inhalers, filter housings, filters for articificial kidneys and blood collection systems.

Changes in the requirements of medical devices, such as high transparency, sterilisation by steam and radiation as well as highly complicated moulds and shapes encourage polyolefin producers to develop new materials. The right choice of material is essential to secure the device and its content, thereby safeguarding the life of the patient.
