We have teamed up with Henkel to introduce a highly resilient, durable material for medical devices!
Our partnership with Henkel, a leading provider of high-impact functional additive materials, has enabled us to rapidly customize, optimize and test a new polypropylene-like material, xMED412, which is ideal for manufacturing a variety of biocompatible medical and wearable devices.
This lightweight yet robust material:
- is designed to withstand shocks, moisture and vibrations
- has inherent insulating properties
- it can be machined, threaded or polished to achieve the desired production results
These highly desirable features are ideal for equipment that may need to be sterilized or disinfected and transported around the world for use in home care and healthcare.
xMED412 combines the physical properties and biocompatibility of medical materials and is ideal for the manufacture of various devices in different industries. This medical 3D printing technology could be used to speed up surgical procedures, produce more cost-effective versions of the necessary surgical instruments and improve the lives of those who rely on prosthetics.
