Several factors are driving the global plastics medical market, including improved sterilization techniques, a shift towards disposable devices, and the development of enhanced plastic materials. The characteristics of today’s materials — biocompatibility, autoclavability, chemical resistance, transparency, light weight, and design flexibility — make plastics an ideal choice for medical applications.
