The Challenges of Global Medical Device Manufacturing
- 1A Polymer Portfolio Built for Global Medical Device Manufacturing
Uncover how our harmonised range of medical-grade polymers supports consistent, predictable, global medical device manufacturing
Access to a globally harmonised portfolio overcomes many global medical device manufacturing challenges. OEMs can qualify once, manufacture consistently, and respond faster across every region they operate in.
That's why IMCD offers a harmonised portfolio of medical-grade polymers from the same producers across EMEA, North America, and Latin America*. Read on to uncover more about our global medical device manufacturing portfolio and how these products support your needs.
PP & PE
- Best-in-class in carbon footprint, lightweight, durable, and easy to process, sterilisable by gamma, EtO, or steam depending on grade;
- Specialised grades available for enhanced transparency, flexibility, stiffness, or super high-flow, including drop-in options made from renewable sources;
- Ideal for medical devices, drug delivery, biopharma, pharma packaging as well as diagnostics and lab disposables.
TPE-S
- High flexibility, excellent transparency, and outstanding bondability across a wide range of Shore hardness options;
- Sterilisable by gamma and EtO, with selected grades suitable for steam sterilisation and renewable-source variants available;
- Ideal for flexible tubing, seals, plungers, and soft-touch components.
