How Radiopaque Polymer Formulations for Medical Devices Enhance Imaging Technology

white plastic resin

Custom blending of radiopaque fillers can increase the opacity of catheters and other devices, making them clearly visible under fluoroscopy and x-rays without sacrificing much of the physical properties of the polymers. Radiopaque formulations incorporated into medical device components enable surgeons to view positioning and placement live during the procedure. Proper visualization is key to […]

Exploring the Benefits of Polyurethane Thin-film Welding for Medical Device Applications

Film Welded Inflatable Balloon Assembly

Thermoplastics have been used in flexible medical product applications since the 1960s, when plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) blood storage bags replaced glass bottles.1 In the 1970s, PVC became the material of choice for Band-Aids®, and a decade later the use of polymeric film patches in surgical draping became popular, replacing latex films. Over time, the […]
