ALT Medical tray manufacturers were looking for a way to reduce the weight of trays when fully loaded with medical instruments, while maintaining the ability for the trays to undergo multiple sterilization cycles without degradation or deformation. TECAPRO MT is a homopolymer polypropylene based material that has been specially prepared to offer stability in high heat environments. This results in a product with exceptionally low residual stress, and likewise facilitates the fabrication of dimensionally stable parts with varying cross sections, thus reducing the tendency for parts to warp after undergoing repeated super heated steam sterilization. This, in addition to its low density, makes TECAPRO MT easy to machine into lightweight components
ALT Surgical tool manufacturer wanted to construct lighter weight instruments that could still stand up to multiple sterilization cycles. Material needs to be autoclavable. Availability in multiple colors is an advantage for instrument coding purposes.
