Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Laser Welding Additives for Medical Devices Laser welding has become a technology of choice to join plastic parts of complex medical devices. It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture. Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

Protective equipment like masks and sterile packaging help to prevent disease transmission, while critical devices like ventilators and CPAP machines work to save lives. Mevopur™ Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) enable reduced material use, while meeting regulatory requirements for medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging. Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers are formulated to meet demanding healthcare device and application challenges without phthalate plasticizers.

The injection-moldable Versaflex™ HC 3810 series is formulated without animal derivatives and offers a wide range of durometers to serve a variety of medical device applications.   OEMs and medical molders need high-performing material solutions for use with various medical device and healthcare applications,” said Jean-Paul Scheepens, general manager, Americas, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Grades in the 60-90 Shore A durometer range can be used for IV connector caps, diagnostic testing devices, endoscopic caps, and similar applications.  

Declarations based on pre-testing of the ingredients we use to standards typically required for medical and diagnostic devices (biological evaluations ISO10993, USP , for class VI devices); and for pharmaceutical packaging and drug-contacting materials (biological evaluation USP, EP chapter and requirements USP and ICHQ3D extractable metals).
