Bring Health Management Home

At-home monitoring devices, such as blood pressure and ECG monitors and pulse oximeters, are now indispensable tools for personal healthcare management. These devices need to be durable, lightweight, and biocompatible to ensure users’ safety and comfort. They require resistance to environmental factors like ultraviolet (UV) exposure, heat, and cleaning chemicals to ensure the device's reliability and longevity. Visual appeal through color and effects can also help increase a patient’s adherence to the monitoring program.

Avient offers a range of medically compliant polymer solutions, including thermoplastics, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and colorant and additive masterbatches that can help you provide durable, reliable, and easy-to-use at-home monitoring devices.

Highlights

• Chemically resistant thermoplastics with UV-blocking capability and good impact performance for durability. These engineered materials can help ensure devices are water resistant and air tight.
• Colorful, soft touch TPEs for improved grips, aesthetics and haptics. They can be overmolded onto a variety of substrates, are compliant with ISO 10993 & USP Class VI, and can be customized based on application need  
• Color and special effect masterbatches pre-tested to ISO, US Pharmacopeia, European Pharmacopeia, and ICH Q3D protocols for increased visual appeal and patient adherence to regular monitoring
• Pre-tested color and additives solutions based on biopolymers to help reduce carbon footprint – drop-in solutions that can be used like fossil-based equivalents
• Functional additives that add performance benefits, such as UV stability and static charge reduction
