China has been developing medical polyurethane materials since 80 years, including adhesives, thermoplastic elastomers, etc. Most of these materials are used in medical polyurethane orthopedic fixation bandages, artificial cardiac catheters, cardiac pacemakers, blood filters, artificial kidneys hollow fiber dialyzers and other medical appliances. In foreign countries, polyurethane materials used in the production of medical equipment has been very popular and in the country, this market has not really been developed.
So what are the advantages of using polyurethane materials for medical equipment? According to experts, we know that medical polyurethane materials have good adhesion, toughness, solvent resistance, non-toxicity, good compatibility with the human body, and can be produced according to the requirements of transparent products and so on. These advantages ensure that the use of polyurethane products either to produce in vivo or in vitro medical appliances can make it play a good performance.
