Representatives from Interstate Plastics’ medical division were available to provide a comprehensive overview of the company’s complete line of medical-grade plastics for surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, dialysis units, drug delivery systems, surgical carriers, caddies and trays, dental equipment, healing caps, sizing trials, provisional knee trials, heads and cups for hip implants, impactor applications, medical instruments, and other medical devices.

Interstate Plastics medical material solutions are FDA, USP Class VI, and ISO 10993 certified, and include a variety of plastics and composites with a radio opacifier (XRO), which are x-ray opaque for clear visibility of a component on fluoroscopy and x-rays, helping to address new challenges created by minimally invasive and image-guided surgery.
