TECACOMP PEEK MED LDS grey is a compound based on the high performance plastic PEEK, modified with a TiO2-based LDS additive and a mineral filler. It is an extension of TECACOMP PEEK LDS grey, but is also suitable for medical applications.

TECACOMP PEEK MED LDS grey is a substrate that can be laser-structured and welded. It has also been tested for biocompatibility. For further information visit TECACOMP PEEK LDS grey.

TECACOMP PEEK MED LDS grey has been tested for biocompatibility according to standard ISO 10993-4, -5, -18 and meets the specified requirements for contact of up to 24 hours with skin and tissue and, if applicable, indirect contact with blood

The base polymer used has been evaluated according to USP Class VI and ISO 10993. TECACOMP PEEK MED LDS has also been tested for cytotoxicity (EN ISO 10993-5), hemolysis (EN ISO 10993-4) and chemical analysis (EN ISO 10993-18). For the base polymer used, information on testing according to USP Plastic Class VI and ISO 10993 is available.
