Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is one of the most versatile material platforms used in modern medical devices. For long-term implantable application, a new thermoplastic material is designed exclusively for implanted medical devices. It delivers boosted biostability—superior tolerance to oxidative and hydrolytic attack—without sacrificing softness.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has played a foundational role in medical device engineering due to its biocompatibility, chemical inertness, and durability. Its clinical relevance has expanded from early vascular grafts to modern smart materials and drug eluting systems. Recent regulatory assessments…
The evolution of medical plastics from 1970 to the present has transitioned from simple, single-use disposables to high-performance, biocompatible polymers and 3D-printed solutions. This journey has been driven by the need for infection control, patient safety, and advanced surgical outcomes. Transitioning to a circular Medtech economy requires a commitment to high value, affordable healthcare.
