Rigid, Biocompatible, and Opaque for Specialized Clinical Use
BioMed Black Resin is a USP Class VI certified material validated for applications requiring long-term skin contact (>30 days) and short-term mucosal membrane, bone, tissue, and dentin contact (<24 hours). Manufacturers in an ISO 13485-certified facility, this resin allows for the production of high-precision medical parts that can be sterilized using standard protocols. Its deep black, matte finish is perfect for light-sensitive applications and professional-grade medical housings.
Key Features
-
Comprehensive Biocompatibility: Certified USB Class VI and tested for ISO 10993 compliance, ensuring safety for long-term skin contact and short-term internal contact.
-
Light-Blocking Opacity: The rich black pigment is designed to block light, making it the superior choice for enclosures containing sensors, optical components, or light-sensitive fluids.
-
Multi-Method Sterilization: Validated for compatibility with autoclave (steam) Ethylene Oxide (EtO), and Gamma radiation, maintaining mechanical integrity after processing.
-
Exceptional Rigidity: With a tensile modulus of 2.2 GPa, it provides the structural stability needed for medical device housings and rigid clinical tools.
-
Professional Matte Aesthetic: Offers a smooth, low-gloss finish that hides internal components and provides a high-end look for consumer-facing medical products.
Ideal Applications
-
Medical Device Housings: Opaque, protective covers for diagnostic tools, sensors, and electronics.
-
Consumer Wearables: Skin-contacting parts for hearing aids, watch bands, and ergonomic grips.
-
Optical Clinical Tools: Components for ophthalmic devices or sensors that require internal light-shielding.
-
Surgical Planning Models: High-contrast anatomical models used for complex orthopedic or cardiovascular planning.
-
Lab & Research Equipment: Custom manifolds and fixtures for light-sensitive pharmaceutical testing.
FAQ
How Does BioMed Black Differ from Standard Black Resin?
BioMed Black is produced under strict ISO 13485 quality management systems and has passed rigorous biocompatibility and sterilization testing. Standard Black is for aesthetic prototypes and is not validated for medical or skin-contact use.
Is it Safe for Long-Term Skin Contact?
Yes. BioMed Black is specifically tested and validated for skin contact exceeding 30 days, making it excellent for wearable medical technology.
Can I Use This on a Standard Form 3?
BioMed Black is officially validated for use on the "B" series printers (Form 3B). These printers unlock the specific validated settings required to guarantee the material's certified biocompatible properties.
