Executive Summary
Plastics are crucial for the medical industry. Right from small extruded catheters, tamper-evident medicine caps to enormous MRIs are built using thermoformed parts. The application of plastics in medical have made healthcare simpler, less painful and made prostheses and new techniques possible.
The major trends in the field of medical industry such as aging patients and their mobility requirements, coupled with younger peoples' desire for a pain-free life, are resulting to rise in surgical procedures as well as new treatment options. However, this is leading to increased prices and added cost pressures in the health systems and to medical product manufacturers.
The unique features of medical-grade plastics such as high wear, temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance make it the ideal material for sensitive medical devices, equipment, and daily supplies in the healthcare industry.
