Medical Grade Materials
Choosing the right medical grade materials begin with a deep dive into how the device would work. Does your device stick to skin? And if so, how long? What types of conditions would the device be exposed to? Any fasteners?
When it comes down to the final design, you want a converting partner with the expertise to make the final selection, and the capabilities to fabricate it. That’s an apt description of ABLE.
At ABLE, we:
- Maintain an inventory of 3M™ medical-grade materials.
- Have years of in-house expertise of 3M™’s medical-grade materials.
- Receive priority access through our longstanding preferred partnership.
