Characteristics of Plastic Medical Products
All kinds of plastic products have penetrated into our lives, and humans are used to using plastic products.
The plastics industry is increasingly used in the medical industry, also known as medical plastics.
What is medical grade plastic? Plastic products used in the medical industry have higher requirements for the safety and durability of products for the particularity of their use. They are designed to withstand high temperature, chemical corrosion and can be used for frequent sterilization.
The trend of application of plastic materials in medical products, because of its light weight, lower cost, easier processing, elastic non-metallic properties, and better biocompatibility, the medical materials are used in the design of medical industry products, and their demand is also increasing.

The materials of medical devices have the following key points:
Plastic medical supplies need to be able to withstand chemical cleaning to extend product life.
In order to avoid the risk of infection, and the spread of germs, the material equipment needs to be suitable for frequently used for disinfection to avoid corrosion or cracking of the surface.
Compared with the material of metal materials, it has more suitable material properties.
Plastic materials have the same tensile strength as metal, but are lighter, cheaper, and easier to manufacture. For example, if it is applied to the spreader of medical operation, the product is made by injection molding, and the rest of the reinforced material is added to make the spreader stronger, lighter and more ergonomic grip, which can make the operation process easier.
Lower costs and lower the cost of consumables.
Control and cost reduction are the things that are important in all walks of life. For the medical industry, such as drip bags and drip bottles, they are all a large number of consumables. In order to reduce costs, medical plastic products will adopt new materials or new processing technologies.
Safety materials meet the requirements of harm to human health and the environment.
The material of medical equipment should not only be harmless to human health, but also avoid persecution against the environment. Therefore, compared with general plastic products, there are stricter specifications and requirements for medical plastic products to avoid chemical substances in plastic products being overheated or other factors produce toxic substances.
The implant is designed with a bio-absorbable material.
For implanted objects, such as drug-coated stents or bone nails, bio-absorbable polymer materials are gradually used. When these medical articles are implanted into the human body, they can be decomposed over time, and are safely absorbed by the body and excreted. The risk of subsequent removal surgery can be eliminated, not only reducing the risk of infection, but also reducing the cost of time and money. The more common bio-absorbable materials are PLA, PGA, PGS, and the like.
