Medical Compatibility

Exolon® Med is produced based on 100% virgin resin which meets ISO 10993 and USP Class VI requirements. The sheets are produced under GMP conditions and under a quality management system which meets ISO 9001:2015. The biocompatibility of the final product made out of Exolon® Med sheets for use in a medical application compliant with the medical regulations cannot be based solely on test performed on the resin or the sheet. It is the sole responsibility of the manufacturer of the final end-use product to conduct all necessary tests (including biocompatibility tests) and inspections and to evaluate the final product under actual end-use requirements.
