Rehabilitation Equipment
Whether used in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, physical therapy offices, or at home, the equipment patients use for recuperation needs to be customizable, strong, flexible, and durable. The same can be said for the materials designers and engineers choose to create wheelchairs, braces, treadmills, prosthetics, and countless other rehab supplies and devices that contribute to a patient’s rehab and recovery.
With Avient materials and expertise, you get the help you need to design and manufacture equipment that operates within healthcare environment standards for hygiene, reliability, and safety. We can collaborate with you to enhance traditional materials or guide you in using advanced composites for metal replacement, custom additives to reduce microbe growth, specialty thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for flexible strength, and more that assist you in achieving our business goals and helping patients thrive.
