An example is PolyOne recently worked with Dexcom to provide material and colorant solutions for their latest product, the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. This project combined PolyOne’s strengths and expertise – distributed medical-grade materials, FDA-compliant colorants, pre-coloured medical grade polymers, and design and processing support – to create colour consistency and accelerated product development for the Dexcom G6 CGM.
PolyOne’s exhibit is highlighting the following service, material, and additive solutions:
- Colourant Chromatics High Temperature Formulations and Colour Concentrates: High-temperature (above 300°F/150°C) polymers and colorant / functional additive packages for healthcare applications
- NEU Express Service: Delivering speed to customers’ R&D process with prototyping and sampling of customised materials for in-vivo devices
- Trilliant HC Thermoplastics: Formulations with chemical resistance and durability for medical device enclosures; available in standard grades or customised formulations from base polymers
- Pre-certified OnCap Plus: Functional additives that complement OnColour HC Plus colourant formulations, giving customers a wider range of resin choices
- New OnCap Low Retention Additive: Enables polyolefin containers to deliver their last drop with ease, eliminates secondary operations such as coating, and is compatible with all sterilisation methods
- Resilience HC Rigid Vinyl: Offers mouldability and surface finish, withstands a broad range of disinfectants, and provides required flammability and UV performance
In addition, PolyOne’s distribution business unit recently collaborated with material supplier Covestro to produce an original eBook, titled, “TrendWatch Materials Matter for Connected Health,” which offers insights into the IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) landscape and implications for material selection and design.
