SearchRespiratory and Sleep Therapy
Respirators, ventilators, positive airway pressure devices and respiratory masks are among the devices and supporting equipment used to treat respiratory-related illnesses in hospitals, clinics and at home. Patient safety and patient compliance are especially important within this segment. SABIC offers a broad portfolio of materials ranging from high heat, autoclavable LEXAN™ resins for respiratory masks which require frequent sterilization to lubricated LUBRICOMP™ compounds for interior components to help reduce device operation noise.
PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS:
- Biocompatibility for airflow pathways
- Clarity for masks
- Colorability for equipment housings
- Ethylene oxide and autoclave sterilization for masks and tanks
- Impact and chemical resistance for masks and equipment
- Flame retardancy and EMI/RFI shielding for equipment housings
- Noise reduction for equipment
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS:
- Respirators and ventilators
- Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) devices
- Humidifier tanks
- Oxygen concentrators
- Respiratory masks and valves
