Top Solutions for Limited Contact Applications
Our versatile brands offer optimized material solutions for manufacturers and designers to implement into a wide range of limited contact applications within medical devices and equipment. Our specialty polymers deliver consistent mechanical and thermal performance with necessary sterilization compatibility, while our additional solutions are used in unique applications like hemodialysis.
Main Applications and Usages for Limited Contact Medical Devices
From high-performance polymers for surgical instruments and medical cases to innovative solutions for hemodialysis treatments, Syensqo offers advanced products that are suitable for a wide range of limited contact healthcare applications. With benefits like mechanical strength, thermal resistance and broad sterilization compatibility, our solutions deliver the performance needed to make these applications safe and reliable.
Hemodialysis Dialyzers
During hemodialysis treatments, the blood passes through a dialyzer, which is a membrane that acts as an artificial kidney to remove waste and excess water before passing back to the patient. Our Udel® PSU and Veradel® PESU polymers are used in tiny, hollow filters to make up the critical semipermeable membrane used in dialyzers. Discover more.
Reusable Surgical Instruments
Reusable surgical instruments require materials that allow for outstanding strength and toughness, plus high-temperature tolerance and chemical resistance. These pieces of medical equipment benefit from specialty polymers like Radel® PPSU and KetaSpire® PEEK, which allow for repeated sterilization, reliable mechanical performance and lightweight strength that mimics metal.
Single-Use Surgical Instruments
Single-use surgical instruments offer improved ergonomics and lightweight strength when developed with high-performance polymer solutions like Ixef® PARA and Udel® PSU. These materials deliver impressive mechanical performance and allow for cost-effective sterilization processes like gamma radiation.
Medical Cases & Trays
In medical equipment cases and trays, qualities like impact resistance and compatibility with sterilization methods are essential. These medical devices experience repeated exposure to challenging conditions like steam sterilization and must be manufactured with polymers like Radel® PPSU that provide reliable mechanical and thermal benefits to protect patients and healthcare workers. Additionally, our polymer solutions can be tailored with transparent and opaque color options depending on application requirements.
