Rigid, Biocompatible, and Transparent for Advanced Clinical Care
BioMed Clear Resin is a USB 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). Manufactured in an ISO 13485-certified facility, this resin allows for the production of high-precision, transparent medical parts that can be sterilized using standard clinical protocols. Its optical clarity makes it the gold standard for visualizing complex internal anatomy or monitoring fluidic systems.
Key Features
-
Comprehensive Biocompatibility: Certified USP Class VI and tested for ISO 10993 compliance, supporting long-term skin contact and short-term internal contact.
-
Optical Transparency: Once polished, parts offer excellent clarity, making it ideal for manifolds, fluidic devices, and surgical guides where visibility of the underlying anatomy is critical.
-
Multi-Method Sterilization: Validated for compatibility with autoclave (steam), Ethylene Oxide (EtO), and Gamma radiation, ensuring safety within the sterile field.
-
Exceptional Rigidity: With a tensile modulus of 2.1 GPa, it provides the structural stability needed for surgical tools and diagnostic equipment housings.
Ideal Applications
-
Surgical Guides & Templates: Rigid, transparent guides that allow surgeons to see the surgical site during the procedure.
-
Fluidic Devices & Manifolds: Transparent components for gas or liquid delivery that require visualization of flow.
-
Medical Device Components: Patient-contacting housings, covers, and connectors for diagnostic tools.
-
Surgical Planning Models: High-detail, transparent anatomical models (ex., vascular or orthopedic) to visualize internal pathologies.
-
Bioprocessing Equipment: Molds and fixtures for pharmaceutical and laboratory environments.
FAQ
How Does BioMed Clear Differ from Standard Clear Resin?
BioMed Clear is produced under strict ISO 13485 controls and is validated for biocompatibility and sterilization. Standard Clear is intended for aesthetic prototypes and is not safe for medical or skin-contact use.
How Do I Get the Parts to be "Crystal Clear"?
Out of the wash, parts have a frosted appearance. To achieve high transparency, sand the part with fine-grit sandpaper (up to 2000) and finish with a biocompatible clear coating or medical-grade polishing compound.
Can I Use This on a Standard Form 3?
BioMed Clear 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 properties.
