In recent years, medical equipment has moved to convenience and lightness.
Market demand for medical equipment products is no longer limited to quality and safety, but also requires lightweight and convenient, comfortable and beautiful.
Convenient and lightweight: replace metal with plastic To be lightweight and convenient, replacing metal with plastic is an effective way to reduce the final product.
To replace the metal, the material must have the following conditions:
High Flexural modulus
High stiffness
Excellent dimensional stability
Good thermal deformation properties
High-performance materials also need to combine the toughness of plastics, as well as the biocompatibility and medical certifications necessary for medical-based products.
Glass fiber Reinforced Resin: Calibretm 5101 & 5201 Trinseo Calibretm 5101 and 5201, respectively, contain 10% and 20% glass fiber reinforcements, providing the strength required for many medical devices.
Excellent performance in terms of flexural strength and thermal deformation. The Calibretm 5101 and 5201 have a better performance in flexural modulus, flexural stress, and thermal deformation temperature than with non-glass-fiber-reinforced PCs.
The following is the relevant data.
Flexural stress (ASTM D790)
Thermal deformation temperature o(1.8MPa, non-annealed,
C, ASTM D648)
Flexural modulus (ASTM D790)
Wide range of applications
With excellent performance Calibretm 5101 and 5201 can be applied to a variety of surgical instrument handles and equipment outside ó, such as tissue anatomy instrument, skin suture device, facial closure device. Trinseo medical resins are manufactured under strict monitoring and ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards.
