Main Applications and Usages for Durable Components in Non-Invasive and No Patient Contact  Medical Devices and Equipment

For non-invasive medical devices, material solutions must promote reliable performance over time, even after exposure to sterilization and disinfectants. Our advanced polymer solutions are designed to tolerate harsh disinfectants, while providing high heat resistance, toughness and improved design freedom for medical equipment housings and components. Additionally, our portfolio also includes reagents for diagnostic tests like COVID-19 PCR testing and gene sequencing, as well as diagnostic imaging consumables.

External Components

Durability, reliability and chemical resistance are critical needs in external components of medical equipment. From the handles of surgical lights to housings and panels on infusion pumps and patient monitoring systems, these parts must be able to withstand repeated sterilization without sacrificing performance.

Internal Components

The internal components of medical equipment must be developed with materials that promote heat resistance, durability and design flexibility. OEMs can continue to innovate components like LCD bezels, high-pressure impellers, hemodialysis pump housings and heat exchangers, slide stainer carousels and other internal parts of medical equipment with advanced polymers.
 

Consumables for Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic imaging is a life-saving element of the healthcare industry, and consumables for diagnostic imaging like PET scans make these essential processes possible. Optimized scintillating materials used in PET scans, for example, make it possible for medical professionals to quickly see how organs and tissues are functioning. 

Reagents for Diagnostics

Diagnostic testing has become increasingly critical over the past several years as medical and scientific advancements make new tests possible. Specialized reagents are essential to the development of reliable tests, like the COVID-19 PCR test and innovative gene sequencing.
