Radiopaque Plastics

Injection molded parts and tubing made from radiopaque compounds absorb X-rays and are not transparent to radiation. As a result, radiopaque parts and catheters can be monitored inside the body via fluoroscopy or X-ray imaging.

The medical market also continues to seek lead replacement alternatives for health and environmental reasons.

Applications

• Catheters
• Surgical tools
• Radiation shielding
• Radioisotope (radiation therapy) shipping containers
• Dental products (prone to accidental ingestion)
• Food delivery tubes
• Collimators
