In medical technology, there is no room for compromise. Devices and equipment must perform reliably under constant sterilization, cleaning, and repeated use.
Hospitals and laboratories are increasingly using stronger disinfectants to fight infections, placing higher demands on medical device materials. At Erteco, we help our customers meet these challenges by providing materials that combine durability, chemical resistance, and compliance with strict regulatory standards.
Our materials meet FDA, USP Class VI, and ISO 10993 / EN 30993 requirements and are suitable for use in medical devices, equipment, and packaging, including contact with pharmaceuticals, human skin, and body fluids. They are carefully selected for critical performance requirements, including:
- Withstanding sterilization without damage
- Chemical resistance
- Flame retardant if required
- Durability for everyday use
The intended use of each product determines the most suitable material. With our experience and our suppliers’ specialized expertise, we recommend the optimal solution for every application.
