Probably the largest range of polymers & expertise for the medical industry
We are more than a polymer distribution company, solving our customers’ problems, helping in material selection, component design and process optimisation.
We know medical, the requirements and pressures. We have the experience and expertise to get the job done consistently, reliably and confidentially.
At Distrupol we our proud to be a world leader in medical polymers, with key medical polymer suppliers.
What is Biocompatibility?
Biocompatibility relates to a material's lack of interaction with living tissue or a living system by not being toxic, injurious, or physiologically reactive, and not causing immunological rejection. Basically, it means the material chemical components will not cause the patient harm. No single test may be sufficient to define biocompatibility. Two common test regimens are commonly used to measure biocompatibility, United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), and ISO 10993, International Organisation for Standardisation, tests for biological evaluation of medical devices.
