PLASTIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS
The Healthcare and Medical Device markets have become global, opening a new world of opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers. Maximizing your opportunities for growth mainly depends on finding suppliers that can provide consistency and quality regardless of where plastic surgical instruments are manufactured. Americhem has emphasized developing compounds for specialty surgical instruments that yield consistent results, time after time – from region to region.
ColorRx® Medical Compounds
Americhem offers a complete line of thermoplastic resins for custom surgical instruments under our proprietary ColorRx® product line. Americhem also provides custom compounds in resin grades that you specify. ColorRx® products meet the requirements specified by ISO biocompatibility guidelines.
InStruc™ Structurally Reinforced Compounds
Whether you are working with high loads, high temperatures, or just need wear-resistant plastic to increase the durability of your products, our glass and carbon fiber reinforced technologies deliver stiffness without brittleness, helping you significantly improve your plastic surgical instruments.
InLube™ Internally Lubricated Compounds
Over time, components and parts can experience significant wear in areas where plastic wears on plastic or metal. This creates performance issues, costly warranty claims, and premature failure of your products. Americhem can help you protect your plastic surgical instruments with silicone, PTFE, graphite, and MoS2 internally lubricated compounds that are custom designed to help you.
InElec® Electrically Active Compounds
The build-up of electrostatic charges can wreak havoc on the inner workings of various types of products and equipment, often causing safety concerns and premature wear. Americhem specializes in custom-designed thermoplastic technologies to disperse electrostatic charges. Our carbon fiber, carbon powder, stainless steel fiber, nickel-coated carbon fiber, and antistatic alloy compounds are widely used for their proven abilities in specialty surgical instruments and drug delivery applications.
