Development History

With the development of medical technology, life expectancy is increasing, and as the aging population increases, the demand for medical devices and medical supplies is also increasing. Medical polymer materials can be classified into two broad categories depending on the field, which can be divided into the field of medical equipment and packaging materials, and the field of biomaterials. In the case of medical equipment and packaging materials, chemical and thermal treatments are performed for sterilization. Therefore, it is necessary to develop materials with excellent chemical resistance and heat stability, and in the case of products that can contact the human body or blood, human suitability certification is required.
