THERMOSET COMPOSITES FOR MEDICAL INDUSTRY
 
 

Thermoset composites continue to advance medical technology by enabling the creation of safer, more efficient, and highly durable devices and systems. Their adaptability also allows for ongoing innovation in patient care solutions. 

Advantages of Thermoset Composites in the Medical Industry
  • High strength-to-weight ratio: Offers excellent mechanical strength without adding excess weight.  
  • Chemical resistance: Essential for devices and components that must endure regular cleaning with strong disinfectants. 
  • Temperature resistance: Thermoset composites can withstand high temperatures and are often self-extinguishing.  
  • Non-porous surface: Reduces the risk of bacterial contamination, contributing to a hygienic medical environment.

 

Thermoset composites are vital to the medical industry, supporting innovation and improved patient outcomes through advanced materials technology. 

Melaglas G5 

  • Insulators in medical diagnostic equipment and high-temperature lab tools. 
  • Structural components in laboratory machines that require electrical insulation. 

Epoxyglas G10/FR4 - is popular in the marine industry due to its excellent moisture resistance and durability in harsh, wet environments. It is used for structural and electrical components in boats and marine vessels. 

  • Instrument handles & grips – secure slip-resistant grip for surgical tools & medical instruments 
  • Sterilization trays and racks that need to be repeatedly exposed to high temperatures and pressure in autoclaves. 
  • Orthopedic braces & some prosthetic limb components 
  • Frames & panels of diagnostic machines
