Celanese showcases expanded materials portfolio at MD&M West
Celanese Corporation, a global chemical and specialty materials company, will feature an expanded portfolio of polymer solutions for the healthcare market during the upcoming MD&M West 2023, in Anaheim, California.
In addition to its comprehensive, proven and trusted portfolio of medical plastics, Celanese now offers Zytel PA, Hytrel TPC-ET, Crastin PBT and Micromax materials after its 2022 acquisition of the majority of the Mobility & Materials (M&M) business from DuPont.
Applications enabled by specialised Celanese polymers will be displayed in booth 1639 at the Anaheim Convention Center. These include:
- Biosensors for diabetes treatment and monitoring in wearable pumps
- Auto injection devices for pharma delivery (insulin pens)
- Monitoring patches (ECG, EKG, asthma)
- Inhalation devices
- Surgical gowns and drapes
- Surgical tools and robotic devices
- Peristaltic and blood separation tubing
- Active silver ion mat for nursing stations with conductive ink
As the healthcare industry innovates with devices that make at-home care and self-administration more convenient, it’s even more important that devices are safe and comfortable to use. Celanese medical-grade resins enable medtech and pharma companies to design devices that provide the next level of:
- Safety: Material solutions offer superior creep performance that help ensure the correct dosing each and every time
- Comfort of use: Materials with superior friction performance reduce the push force necessary to activate injection mechanisms and soft-touch materials provide a more comfortable grip
- Reduced environmental impact: Renewably sourced (RS) offerings enable lower CO2 emissions than fossil-based variants
- Cost performance: Material solutions enable wall-thickness reductions, cycle time reductions and lower yield losses
Drug delivery devices such as auto-injector pens, inhalers and wearable pumps must be 100% reliable. With a 40-year track record of providing safe, high-performance materials to the healthcare industry, Celanese offers the technical and regulatory expertise to help customers advance their healthcare and medical products from design to market.
