High-performance polymers for medical applications: hygiene, biocompatibility and precision

High-performance polymers for medical applications: hygiene, biocompatibility and precision

A constantly changing medical sector

The medical sector requires materials that are safe, sterilizable and biocompatible. High-performance polymers (HPPs) meet these requirements while reducing the weight of medical devices. They resist steam, gamma, plasma or chemical sterilization, and comply with ISO 10993 and USP Class VI standards.

DEMGY supports manufacturers of medical devices, laboratories or imaging solutions with sterilizable injected, machined or 3D-printed parts.

Why choose HPP for medical devices ?

  • Resistant to sterilizing agents and intensive washing
  • Certified biocompatibility
  • Lightweight, rigid, corrosion-free (replaces stainless steel)
  • Custom fabrication possible: orthotics, templates, implants

Examples of medical applications

PEEK and PPSU surgical instruments

  • Resistant to repeated steam sterilization
  • Certified biocompatibility
  • Lightweight, rigid, metal replacement

PEI and LCP imaging housings and connectors

  • Perfect electrical insulation
  • Thermal and mechanical resistance
  • MRI or X-ray compatible (no metal artifacts)

Custom 3D-printed parts (orthoses, templates)

  • Sterilizable PEKK or PEEK
  • Shapes adapted to patient's anatomy
  • Time-saving for surgeons
