PC-ISO
PC-ISO (polycarbonate), an industrial thermoplastic, which in its raw state, is biocompatible (ISO 10993 USP Class VI)and can be gamma or EtO sterilized. PC-ISO is commonly used in food and drug packaging and medical device manufacturing because of the material's strength and medical compatibility.
