The medical device market is expected to grow at a rate of 6% in the next five years. With their strength, capability to withstand harsh environments, and colorability, specialty polymers offer medical device designers materials that can be used in a wide variety of applications. Sustainability is also becoming an increasingly important consideration for medical device manufacturers seeking to improve the carbon footprint of their products. During this webinar, speakers Natalie Dragunat and Greg Goschy of Syensqo will review the chemistry of specialty polymer materials and illustrate the applications where specialty polymers offer a unique advantage in medical devices. Benchmark materials such as Udel? PSU, Radel? PPSU, and Ixef? PARA will be presented, as well as new sustainable polymer material Radel? PPSU ECHO RP.
