A New Standard in Medical-Grade Acetal
In medical manufacturing, performance, precision and safety are absolutely essential. From orthopaedic trials to surgical instruments and implantable components, every detail matters. The materials you choose play a huge role in ensuring reliability, regulatory compliance and long-term success.
As devices become more advanced and regulatory demands continue to grow, manufacturers need materials that won’t hold them back. They need options that can meet every challenge with confidence.
Orthoplastics brings to market Hostaform® MT®2U06 Acetal. This medical-grade copolymer is built to meet the highest expectations for performance, consistency and safety. It’s a smart and secure choice for critical medical applications.
Certified Biocompatibility You Can Count On
Every medical device starts with patient safety. That’s why Hostaform® MT®2U06 meets both USP Class VI and ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards. All of our resins are certified, and we’re currently awaiting certification for our extruded rod offering.
This means you can use it safely in a wide range of medical and surgical environments, knowing it meets all the right checks.
Designed for Tough Environments
Medical settings are tough on materials. Sterilisation, cleaning agents and high-pressure use all take their toll. Hostaform® MT®2U06 handles it all.
It offers excellent impact strength and thermal stability, ensuring reliability through repeated ETO and steam sterilisation. That makes it ideal for reusable instruments, guides, and other parts that are used repeatedly.
Colour-Coded and Customisable
In busy clinical settings, visual clarity is everything. That’s why Hostaform® MT®2U06 comes in a wide range of vibrant, biocompatibility-tested colours. These options help support safer workflows and make identification quicker and easier.
Need something specific? No problem. Working closely with our supplier, we have the potential to offer custom colour matching to suit your requirements. This material is available in a variety of sizes, from 25mm to 87mm in diameter. We also provide custom sizing on request, so whether you’re prototyping or ready to scale, we’ve got you covered.
Confidence in Supply and Consistency
With some older acetals being phased out, supply stability has become a real issue for many manufacturers. Hostaform MT 2U06 addresses this issue with a fixed formulation and robust change control processes. You can plan ahead with confidence, knowing you’re working with a material that will stay consistent for years to come.
