PAWTUCKET, R.I.—Three new thermoplastic elastomers developed and designed by Teknor Apex Co. for wire and cable use in clinical settings have been a hit with customers so far.
The Medalist 8421, 8431 and 8451 compounds were introduced at the Interwire wire and cable trade exposition April 22-25 in Atlanta. Each passed the medical test ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity, a standard test for medical products that come in contact with the body.
