High demand for medical devices and drug delivery equipment is creating opportunities for manufacturers. Yet approximately 30-40% of equipment recalls can be traced back to improper material selection. Protecting your reputation requires working with a material partner prepared to help you accurately assess how final parts perform in clinical settings and overcome supply chain issues. We at DSM Engineering Materials offer a proven material solutions portfolio created to help you develop a broad range of best-in-class medical devices.
Cardiovascular catheters are needed to perform diagnostic testing and treat complex medical conditions. Common material solutions have reliability issues – prompting more medical equipment suppliers to leverage high-strength, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Yet, this material often leads to variations in extrusion behavior and problems during secondary assembly processes. DSM’s Arnitel® Care is ideal for producing safe and reliable catheters that are optimized for high-stress clinical environments and reduce operating costs for manufacturers.
Healthcare workers treating infected patients during an outbreak depend on a reliable supply of high-quality PPE to protect their health and safety. Medical gown manufacturers need a material solution that gives healthcare workers both the protection and comfort they require, and DSM’s Arnitel® VT does just that.
Arnitel VT monolithic membrane technology has contributed to the development of reliable disposable medical gowns, giving the highest level of protection combined with a high level of comfort to medical personnel. During this 30-minute Talk, the value Arnitel VT brings to the medical consumer market is discussed.
