Considerations for Specifying Ultra-Engineering Polymers for Extruded Medical Applications – Part 2

With the shift in the medical industry to more minimally invasive, quicker, and more effective procedures, the goal is to minimize patient recovery times, reduce access incision sizes, and provide better patient outcomes through advanced medical procedures. This necessitates new medical devices that tend to be more demanding of their components than in devices past. This requires medical devices and their components to use advanced polymers. Many of these advanced materials fall under the general description of high heat polymers.
