At Fluorocarbon, our variety of high purity and chemical resistant components are developed specifically to meet the rigorous demands of sensitive medical device applications.

Half the medical devices manufactured today are made from fluoropolymer, this is due to its lightweight, transparent, flexible and biocompatible properties. 

These superior characteristics offers a variety of improved performance capabilities such as:

• Critical operating temperature
• Chemical contact & resistance
• Single use sterilisation compared to repeated sterilisation
• Resistance to high temperature, impact, chemical
• Good strength, toughness and hardness
• High purity

PEEK is commonly used in reusable medical components, including dental syringes, keyhole surgery devices, disposable surgical instruments and implants. PTFE is commonly used in implants and microfiltration membranes.
