Solviva Biomaterials for Implantable Devices
- Zeniva® PEEK - As one of the most biostable plastics available, Zeniva® PEEK delivers high strength and stiffness, plus excellent toughness and fatigue resistance for challenging healthcare applications.
- Eviva® PSU - this transparent polymer offers toughness and strong biocompatibility. Eviva® PSU is a rigid thermoplastic that does not absorb fluids and is artifact-free for effective MRI imaging.
- Veriva® PPSU - this high performance specialty polymer provides unsurpassed toughness combined with transparency and excellent biocompatibility.
Medical Grades for Limited Contact Applications (< 24h)
- Radel® PPSU - Radel® PPSU has provided a strong, lightweight alternative to metal for more than 30 years, with added benefits like impact resistance and ISO 10993 biocompatibility for safer and more durable medical equipment.
- Udel® PSU - As a rigid, high-strength sulfone polymer, Udel® is well suited for transparent medical devices and equipment where improved performance compared to polycarbonate is desired.
- Veradel® PESU - This high-performance amorphous thermoplastic is ideal for many transparent applications and offers improved strength, toughness and hydrolytic stability compared to other transparent engineering plastics.
- Ixef® PARA - Ixef® PARA is an excellent choice for applications where an aesthetic, ultra-smooth finish is desirable. With added benefits like tensile strength and ergonomic properties, this material is an outstanding choice for single-use devices.
- KetaSpire® PEEK - This high-performance solution can withstand repeated exposure to sterilization processes while maintaining outstanding strength, stiffness and thermal performance in a broad range of healthcare applications.
- AvaSpire® PAEK - A family of high-performance polyketones tailored to fill cost and performance gaps between PEEK and other high-performance polymers. For example, ductility and toughness can be significantly improved versus comparable grades of PEEK, delivering 20% higher tensile elongation at yield and double tensile elongation at break values.
- Amodel® PPA - A high-temperature polyamide that retains its high strength and stiffness up to 280°C. With a high melting point over 300°C, Amodel® PPA offers electrically insulative capabilities, enabling electronic processes and assembly including surface mount technology (SMT), IR reflow soldering, and overmolding of metals.
- Solef® PVDF - A highly non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer that is inherently flame retardant. Solef® PVDF has a high degree of purity, robust mechanical properties, electrochemical stability, and broad chemical resistance at high temperatures.
