What Is The Material Of Disposable Syringe

At present, disposable medical devices at home and abroad generally use PVC as raw material, the material has the advantages of excellent comprehensive physical and mechanical properties, low price, simple production process and so on. However, the use of PVC as a disposable medical device has the following disadvantages: PVC may contain very small amounts of polyethylene monomer, a compound that has been proven to be carcinogenic; The plasticizer that must be used in the processing may gradually migrate out the contaminated liquid during the use process. Adding a variety of metal-containing compounds as stabilizers may enter the human body and harm health; In order to improve the stabilization effect of the metal stabilizer, the addition of phosphorus additives further increased the toxicity of PVC materials; Disposal of PVC is difficult and causes serious pollution to the environment.

Due to the above defects of PVC material, the United States, Japan and some developed countries in Europe are developing alternative materials for PVC. Until now, PVC has dominated the market for disposable medical devices due to the lack of an alternative material that can compete with it in terms of overall performance and price.
