When healthcare professionals use plastic-based materials in patient care, they expect them to provide safety and proven performance. That means they must deliver the high clarity, durability, strength, and chemical resistance expectations set and, if possible, be better for the environment. It’s a tall order for many manufacturers, but our healthcare standard-setting technology ensures these benefits.

Patient safety continues to be a driver in medical device market especially as it relates to products performing well while standing up to the rigorous daily and frequent usage devices must also stand up to the increasingly aggressive disinfectants used in the healthcare facilities harsh pharmaceuticals and carrier solvent proper function and clarity following the sense sterilizations including EtO, gamma and other processes round out a list of challenges that are facing devices.

In post covid era, pharmaceuticals are becoming increasingly potent similar to when harsh disinfectants are used devices made with plastics often have difficulty standing up to these several medications and treatments that can leak, break, cause possible product contaminations have serious adverse health consequences to the practitioners in fact some of the oncological drugs are not compatible with the traditional polymers used in delivery devices which can lead to chemical attack and premature device failure.

Eastman Chemical Company has been a trusted supplier for medical markets more than 70 years for most of the global brands and has consistently raised the standards for quality reliability patient safety and comfort with highest degree of customer satisfaction and sustainability Eastman brings a total solution approach combining a collaborative philosophy and industry expertise with our growing portfolio of medical polymer this marriage of applications and material knowledge can advance innovation in market changing ways.
