The demand for medical plastic parts has increased in recent years due to both advances in medical treatment and care and changes to the healthcare system. Sterilization requirements for medical equipment and devices have become more rigorous in recent years as Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements are reduced for hospitals with higher-than-specified hospital-acquired infections. The increased use of aggressive disinfectants demands medical plastic parts that can withstand such treatment without cracking or failing. Furthermore, the healthcare industry nationwide is beginning to focus more on outpatient care and trying to decrease the amount of in-patient care required. As a result, manufacturers of medical devices are having to create compact, intuitive equipment that patients can use at home while still meeting FDA standards.
