Greater awareness of the material content used to manufacture medical devices has encouraged the FDA to conduct safety assessment tests on the effects of plasticizers used in the manufacturing of PVC. As a response to this testing several global medical device manufacturers are already evaluating PVC alternatives for use in the manufacturing of tubing, IV bags, wire and cable. Hueson stands at the forefront of this movement with our line of PVC alternative insulation and jacketing compounds.
In response to the potential health and safety risk, Hueson Wire & Cable has introduced medical cables designed with PVC alternative insulation and jacketing compounds. This eco-friendly medical cable has the added benefits of allowing the OEM to be at the forefront of phasing out PVC with a UL recognized for use in a UL listed or classified product.
