High Performance Plastics in Medical Applications
Fluoropolymers are a group of high-performance plastics with excellent temperature and chemical resistance that are increasingly being used in a variety of medical products. Unique characteristics such as biocompatibility, low friction, chemical inertness, non-porosity and radiation-resistance, make them suitable for uses in many types of medical devices and equipment. In addition, manufacturers who are making components for medical devices can incorporate material that has a
