At Sumitomo Chemical, we handle "super engineering plastics" that comply with ISO 10993 and are suitable for USP Class VI, contributing to solving protein adsorption issues and the miniaturization and lightweighting of medical devices. 【Benefits of Introduction】 ■ "Stable supply and shortened lead times" through domestic manufacturing ■ "High performance of medical devices" achieved through high-precision design and miniaturization of components ■ Proven track record as "PEEK alternatives" and "cost reduction of components" due to excellent moldability and durability - Is PEEK over-specified for the required properties? Reduce material costs by about 50% with our super engineering plastics. - Using super engineering plastics with excellent moldability allows for overall cost reduction of components. 【Concept of Super Engineering Plastics Healthcare Grade】 - Withstand repeated high humidity and heat, as well as gamma sterilization, exhibiting high strength. Sustainable for medical use as it does not degrade with each sterilization. - Impact resistance, chemical resistance, and repeated sterilization. Cost reduction made possible by high durability. - Miniaturized medical devices and wearable devices requiring high precision and complex designs. Exceptional fluidity achieves accuracy beyond expectations. *For detailed specifications, please download the PDF. Feel free to consult us for more information.

【Lineup】 ■ "Sumika Excel PES" with low protein adsorption supporting regenerative medicine ■ "Sumika Excel PPSU" maintaining strength against impact and sterilization ■ "Sumika Super LCP" for advanced minimally invasive and precision medical devices such as wearables By ensuring quality compliant with ISO 10993 and USP Class VI, and through domestic manufacturing, we provide a stable supply of high-quality medical devices. Combining customer molding technology with our unique resin and mold design technologies enables high-precision design, elevating the performance of medical devices to a higher standard. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

【Concerns like these】 ■ Due to logistics issues overseas, supply is unstable, lead times are long, and since small orders are not accepted, we are being forced to purchase MOQ quantities. ■ Depending on the resin, even with the same grade name, quality may vary by manufacturing location, and we have to review molding conditions each time. ■ Aiming for the practical application of regenerative medicine by 2030, cell culture manufacturers are working on cost reduction for commercialization. ■ To reduce costs, it is necessary to cultivate with large-scale culture equipment at high yields, but we are struggling because there are no single-use materials with the strength to withstand large-scale culture equipment. ■ PEEK is extremely expensive, so we cannot take the step to reconsider materials for cost reduction. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
