Bayer Exhibited Baymedix Adhesive & more for Medical Applications at MD&M West 2014

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Today, more than ever, people seem to always be on the move ... reluctant to slow down, even when medical treatment is needed. Medical device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) recognize this by developing products that will help patients get back on their feet more quickly, and by contributing to a better overall quality of life. When seeking materials that can meet their rigorous specifications, OEMs turn to Bayer MaterialScience LLC.

Bayer has a broad portfolio of polycarbonate resins, blends and films; thermoplastic polyurethane films; and polyurethane-based adhesives and foams - all formulated for the medical device and healthcare market. The company highlighted its materials and some of the innovative applications that utilize them at MD&M West 2014 [Feb. 10-13 in Anaheim, Calif.] - one of the worlds largest medical device design and manufacturing events. Heres a preview.

Bayer materials for the medical market

Makroblend EL4000 polycarbonate/polybutylene terephthalate (PC+PBT): MD&M West marked the debut of this new grade of polycarbonate blend, which offers a high level of chemical resistance against many of the powerful disinfectants used to wipe down hospital room surfaces and equipment. Using a material with high chemical resistance can help reduce the prevalence of hospital-acquired infections, improve patient outcomes and extend the life of medical devices exposed to these powerful disinfectants.
Makrolon Rx2440 polycarbonate: This clear, medical-grade polycarbonate has an outstanding combination of rigidity, toughness, high flow and unique color-recovery after irradiation. Like all medical Makrolon polycarbonate grades from Bayer, Makrolon Rx2440 polycarbonate resin can be used in a variety of medical device applications, including IV access, respiratory, surgical and renal care.
Bayfol UX502 thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film: This newly developed composite film is used in medical packaging, helping to protect sensitive medical devices like orthopedic implants. Bayfol UX502 provides the required high abrasion resistanceof TPU and the ease of thermoforming provided by PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified).
Platilon and Dureflex films: Wound dressings made with these films help protect wounds from environmental influences and accelerate the healing process with their high breathability. They fit and look like a second skin for patient comfort. These films can also be used to make surgical drapes that are skin-friendly and conform to the patients body shape. Surgeons value the customized surfaces and excellent adhesion for easy peel-off after surgery.
Baymedix a raw material: This adhesive is targeted for skin adherence in wound care and biosensor applications. It offers adjustable adhesive strengths, hydroselectivity, and gentle removal comparable to silicone adhesives and is compatible with common sterilization technologies.
Baymedix FP reactive foam technology: This solution enables the production of very smooth and conformable foams that are non-yellowing, have high absorption rates and great fluid retention capability.
