X-ray detectable PPSU filament for medical 3D-printing
The X-ray detectable TECAFIL PPSU MT XRO blue is characterised by very high thermal stability and high resistance to cleaning agents, disinfectants and other solvents. Additionally, TECAFIL PPSU MT XRO blue filaments have a low moisture absorption, high dimensional stability and excellent hydrolysis resistance, making 3D printed applications suitable for repeated steam sterilisation.
TECAFIL PPSU MT XRO blue developed by Ensinger is x-ray detectable and thus meets the challenging requirements of minimally invasive and image-guided surgery, which contributes to additional safety during surgical procedures. Therefore this material is perfectly suited for trial implants and 3D printing for medical use.
These filaments have been tested and evaluated for biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993-1, -4, -5, -18 and meet the specified requirements for contact with skin and tissue for up to 24 hours and, if necessary, indirect contact with blood. Corresponding biocompatibility declarations are supplied with every order of TECAFIL MT filaments. With order-related declarations, the traceability of the customer order is ensured.
