TekniPlex Healthcare, which utilizes advanced materials science expertise to help deliver better patient outcomes, has become the first healthcare solutions company to introduce\u00a0bio-based compounds for medical plastics applications\u00a0whose performance and compositional properties are equivalent to conventional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins. Certified through the globally recognized International Sustainability & Carbon Certification PLUS (ISCC PLUS) system, the bio-based medical-grade PVC compounds utilize resins and plasticizers manufactured with renewable energy and bio-attributed classification.\u200b The compounds are equivalent to traditional medical-grade PVC in terms of chemical composition, functionality, and regulatory viability.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the healthcare industry increasingly emphasizes eco-friendliness and carbon footprint reduction, TekniPlex Healthcare\u2019s bio-based, medical-grade PVC compounds enhance sustainability profiles without sacrificing the reliable performance for which traditional PVC compounds are known. The bio-based compounds are a drop-in replacement for a wide variety of injection molded or extruded PVC compounds utilized in a broad array of applications, including tubing solutions such as IV therapy tube sets, drip chambers, and peristaltic pump tubing; films used for trays, pouches, bags and other form-fill-seal settings; and other components composed of medical-grade plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering excellent cost-performance characteristics, TekniPlex Healthcare\u2019s new bio-based PVC compounds can reduce CO2<\/sub> output\/emissions by up to 90% compared with conventional PVC resins, and approximately 60% relative to traditional PVC plasticizers. Produced at the company\u2019s manufacturing facility in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the material\u2019s ISCC PLUS certification assures its production and distribution via a transparent and traceable supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe ability to produce a broad array of medical-grade PVC solutions with bio-based compounds is a significant step forward in healthcare materials science sustainability,\u201d said Meg Henke, Global Head of Product Management for TekniPlex Healthcare<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be the first to introduce such a groundbreaking capabilities set, which brings the potential to substantially reduce our customers\u2019 overall CO2<\/sub> output while staying unwaveringly true to our top priority of delivering better patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
