For medical device design

CES Medical Polymer Selector is a specialist edition of the leading materials and process selection software that helps medical device designers and supporting materials experts.

What does it do for you?

The Medical Polymer Selector applies the power of CES Selector software to a rich set of plastics data, making particular use of the Medical Plastics data module.

Find out how this Medical Plastics data helps you to meet an extensive set of critical requirements for medical device design.

Applications include:

Selecting materials for medical device applications
Identifying materials that are available in medical or food contact grades
Investigating properties that are important in medical applications, including: transparency, sterilizability, durability to chemicals and UV light, permeability...
Reducing and avoiding cost

Medical Polymer Selector components

CES Selector software

The core CES Selector tools let you browse, search, and interact with materials data and apply powerful selection capabilities that implement the Ashby selection methodology.

Medical plastics data

An extended version of Granta's PolymerUniverse data containing additional materials and materials attributes of importance to medical device design.

Plastics data

The standard CES Polymer Selector data is also available within this edition, providing comprehensive coverage of polymeric materials:

ChemRes - ranks the PolumerUniverse polymers based on their resistance to over 190 different chemicals and solvent environments
CAMPUS - datasheets on over 4,600 commercially available grades from 27 producers including Bayer, BASF, Dow, DuPont, and Ticona
IDES - 50,000 plastic resins datasheets from 400 vendors, offering a large number of ASTM and ISO standard properties

For the latest developments see the summary of CES Selector 2007.

Further options for medical device design

CES Medical Polymer Selector is one component in Granta's portfolio of software for medical device design:

The Materials for Medical Devices database is an authoritative source of mechanical, physical, biological response and drug compatibility property information for a wide range of materials used in medical device design.
