Le PPSU
Radel ® PPSU (phenylene polysulphide) has been selected by MacPherson Medical Inc to replace the metal in the design of a multi-use tray for surgical instruments.
The main characteristics that led to the selection of PPSU were its hardness, its mouldability, its resistance to autoclave sterilisation, its lightness, FDA approval and its transparency. PPSU is easily worked to obtain complex shapes and offers excellent chemical resistance, significant efficiencies in manufacture and lower manufacturing costs than metals.
