Trinseo introduces PC for medical devices
The global medical industry is constantly evolving to address megatrends such as a rapidly growing and aging population. This is creating a need for home healthcare and self-administered treatments, as well as medical wearables and patient-friendly devices.
Trinseo’s wear-resistant, high-lubricity PC has been designed for drug delivery devices and surgical tools, which are growing in importance for their convenience and cost saving potential. Part of Trinseo’s CALIBRE Polycarbonate Resins series, the new PC platform provides a solution for the low friction movement of one material over another, extending product life and minimising noise without external lubricants.
Trinseo’s Global Market Leader for Medical, Personal Care and Household, Aldo Zanetti, said: “Trinseo plastics satisfy the demand for aesthetically pleasing devices designed for human interaction. At both Pharmapack and MD&M West, we look forward to sharing how Trinseo supports medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies, particularly with our latest grades for drug delivery device applications.”
With three decades of industry experience, Trinseo supports a variety of applications including drug delivery devices, surgical tools, equipment housings, and medical wearables.
Alongside traditional plastics, Trinseo works across the industry to help customers achieve objectives for sustainable materials, using post-consumer recycled (PCR) content containing resins, bio-based technologies, and through creative supply chain initiatives.
