As medical devices become more complex and sophisticated so to must the raw polymer materials that are utilised. From implants right through to minimally invasive surgeries as well as disposables the requirements of medical polymers are growingly varied and specialised. It is therefore not a surprise that polymers with functional additives have become increasingly incorporated in medical device manufacturing.
IPC – Innovative Polymer Compounds manufacture medical polymer compounds by adding a desired functional additive to a medical grade polymer (ISO 10993, USP VI, FDA, etc.)
At IPC we compound a full range of functional additives that are specifically designed for the medical device and healthcare sectors. We offer a personalised approach which means going the extra distance to ensure that our customers receive the right polymers with the exacting attributes that fit the specific and demanding requirements of the medical device.
IPC – Innovative Polymer Compounds’ range of ISO 10993 approved pigments offers our customers many benefits.
