About Medical Grade Plastics

Plastics play an essential role in the life sciences and healthcare industries due to their ability to meet various demands of these sectors. Orthopedic manufacturers, for example, depend on medical grade plastics for their safety, compliance and reliability. Polymers such as polyphenylsulfone, heat stabilized polypropylene and polyetheretherketone are used in medical devices and surgical instruments intended for repeated use.

Other polymers like ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene are used in long term human implants. Plastics also offer design flexibility, allowing for the production of highly customized products with intricate details.
