As hospitals implement robust cleaning protocols designed to battle healthcare associated infections, medical devices are subjected to various types of disinfectants at different concentrations and frequency of use.

PolyOne developed an ultra-soft version of its GLS™ TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) approved for food contact and medical applications, and included non-toxic PolyOne colorants. 

Avient’s design team assisted with the design, process analysis and production of the injection-molded plastic USee™ device, which includes a copolyester frame, medical-grade polycarbonate lenses, and acetal for the dials and gears.

Backed by robust bio-compatibility pre-testing, healthcare quality systems, and change control standards, these ‘medical grade’ concentrates and pre-color formulations can help minimize risk and avoid high costs of non-compliance.
