Digitalisation and virtual reality in surgical operations, chronic illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma as well as the increasing number of non-work related accidents promote use of innovative and financially acceptable high-performance materials.
Surgical instruments with good rigidity and able to withstand repeated sterilisation, data communication and diagnosis machines with high resistance to chemicals and good optical properties, easy-to-operate medication dispensers, inhalers for asthma medication and insulin are all application areas for high-quality polyamide materials such as Grivory und Grilamid grades.
Metal replacement using high-strength and rigid polyamides is an important cost-saving factor in medical applications such as the manufacture of artificial limbs and walking aids as well as construction modules for hospital beds and fittings.
