Plastic materials detectable by X-ray | ||||||||
Mexpolimeros handles different degrees detectable by X-rays. All material grades can be produced in many different colors, to meet the customer's order. This allows greater flexibility when designing applications, for example, to easily distinguish between different tools and measures or to differentiate from competitive products through the color brand. Thanks to radio-opaque products, Mexpolimeros satisfies the needs of surgery Minimally invasive, video-assisted and guided surgery, while offering greater safety during surgery. An additive with a contrast agent function is added to the standard formulations of the polymers, which allows a clear visibility of the component by means of fluoro-scopy or X-rays. This allows the surgeon to have an accurate image of the orthopedic instruments or implants. Test during the interventions carried out with video-assisted technologies. | ||||||||

Applications | ||||||||
For applications that require plastics to be X-ray detectable. They are used for all types of components for which clear visibility is beneficial, such as surgical instruments and test implants, games for children that can be swallowed. | ||||||||
