SOLUTIONS FOR POINT OF CARE
CONNECTED DEVICES
The need for improved chemical resistance and long-term durability is an important factor for point of care devices. Hospitals, labs and healthcare providers will continue to use aggressive cleaners to ensure patient safety and provide protection from virus and disease. Using advanced thermoplastics can help improve the performance of your medical device and enhance your design. Our materials can also help you address industry requirements such as biocompatibility, formulation lock, compatibility with disinfectants and long-term durability.
SABIC's Specialties business provides a wide range of healthcare solutions that offer biocompatible materials, improved chemical resistance, healthcare color packages, autoclavability at 121 °C and 134 °C and long-term durability. We support our materials with value-added services, including design support, mold-flow analysis, testing and predictive engineering capabilities, which are available for each step of your application development process.
