As you wander through the bustling aisles of Medical Technology Ireland, make sure to visit Alphagary's booth #33 (ground floor) to learn about the latest innovative materials for medical devices (compounds and additives).
With a legacy of excellence and a vision for innovation, Alphagary's materials are helping to advance healthcare technology. The group offers TPE compounds that replace rubber and address PFAS concerns while providing unparalleled durability and flexibility, and PVC/TPU compounds that are tough enough to withstand repeat movement and pressure, yet remain flexible enough for caregiver handling and patient comfort.
To streamline risk evaluation and device approval process, Alphagary provides test results conducted on compounds to USP Class VI Biocompatibility standards. Some materials have been tested to Cytotoxicity standards and others have received ISO 10993 evaluation. Hands-on regulatory advice and support is readily available including documentation for reporting requirements such as RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65.
Reliable and Consistent: PVC Compounds
Since the 1960s, Alphagary's PVC compounds have been tailored to enhance the performance and safety of medical devices, ensuring utmost reliability in critical applications. We have worked closely with our customers, often custom-formulating a material to optimize performance. Our portfolio includes DEHP-free compounds, non-phthalate compounds (including compounds formulated without ortho-phthalate plasticizers), and phthalate-free compounds.
Empowering Design: TPE Compounds
Alphagary's TPE compounds redefine possibilities in medical device and personal care product design. With a perfect blend of softness and strength, these compounds pave the way for innovative products that prioritize patient comfort without compromising on functionality.
The Future of Flexibility: TPU Compounds
Alphagary's TPU compounds are setting a new standard for flexibility and resilience in medical devices. Engineered to withstand demanding environments, these compounds enable the creation of devices that can adapt to the dynamic needs of healthcare professionals.
Enhancing Performance: Stabilizers and Plasticizers
Beyond compounds, Alphagary offers a range of stabilizers and plasticizers for PVC that ensure the longevity and efficacy of devices, underscoring Alphagary's commitment to quality and innovation.
