Medical technology

What is medical technology?

Medical technology encompasses the development and manufacture of devices, instruments and implants for medical applications. It plays a decisive role in modern healthcare by providing innovative solutions for diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation. The requirements for the materials used are particularly high, as they come into direct contact with the human body or must be used under sterile conditions.

Requirements for plastics in medical technology

Plastics used in medical technology must meet strict requirements:

• High purity and biocompatibility: Materials must be free from harmful substances and must not cause any undesirable reactions in the body.
• Chemical resistance: They must be resistant to cleaning and disinfecting agents as well as other chemical substances.
• Sterilisability: Many applications require regular sterilisation by steam, gas or radiation without the material properties being impaired.
• Mechanical stability: Plastics must be durable, resistant and dimensionally stable in order to withstand the high loads in medical technology devices.

Suitable plastics for medical technology

Depending on the area of application, different high-performance plastics are used. The most important materials include:

• PEEK (polyetheretherketone): Excellent biocompatibility, high mechanical strength, resistant to sterilisation processes.
• PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene): Chemically inert, very low friction values, ideal for bearings and seals in medical technology devices.
• POM (polyoxymethylene): High dimensional stability, excellent mechanical properties, often used in surgical instruments.
• PPSU (polyphenylsulfone): Resistant to high temperatures and chemicals, ideal for sterilisable medical devices.
