Specialising in the comprehensive testing and analysis of plastics, including medical plastics

Medical plastics encompass a wide range of polymers specifically formulated and manufactured to meet the stringent requirements of medical devices and applications. 

At our state-of-the-art laboratory, we specialise in the comprehensive testing and analysis of plastics, including medical plastics, catering to the unique requirements of the healthcare industry with precision and expertise. 

Our services include:

Mechanical Properties Evaluation: Assessing parameters such as tensile strength, flexural modulus, and fatigue resistance. This analysis ensures the reliability and durability of medical devices crucial for patient safety.

Chemical Composition Analysis: Determining the chemical composition of medical device components, elucidating the presence of trace elements, additives, and potential contaminants. This ensures compliance with regulatory standards and mitigates risks associated with material impurities.

Chemical Compatibility Assessment: We assess the compatibility of polymers intended for medical use with various sterilization methods, pharmaceutical agents, and other chemicals. This analysis ensures the integrity and performance of medical devices throughout their lifecycle, against adverse reactions or material degradation.

Failure Analysis Investigations: In instances of device malfunction or performance discrepancies, we conduct thorough failure analysis investigations to identify root causes and underlying issues. By pinpointing failure mechanisms and mitigating factors, we facilitate informed decision-making for continuous improvement in medical device design and manufacturing.

At ExcelPlas, we prioritize confidentiality, integrity, and compliance, and our testing is performed against the relevant ASTM and ISO standards, ensuring the reliability and validity of our findings.
