Plastics play an important role in the manufacturing of medical products and hygiene items. Depending on the application area, a deep understanding of specific material characteristics and compliance with strict standards is necessary for their selection.

Hygiene products, especially those that come into direct contact with the skin, require plastics with special skin compatibility and hypoallergenic properties. Compliance with dermatological standards is crucial here to avoid allergic reactions. Additionally, these plastics must be easy to clean to ensure optimal hygiene.

On the other hand, medical devices that are inserted into the body require materials that meet the highest requirements for biocompatibility

Compliance with international medical device standards such as ISO 10993 is essential in this regard.

The sterilizability of plastics also plays a key role in these medical products to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medical devices.
