Smart Plastics for the Highest Medical Quality Standards

In hardly any other industry are product requirements as high as in medical technology. Regulatory requirements, validation obligations, and strict quality standards govern the entire life cycle of a medical technology product. This makes materials and their suppliers all the more important as reliable healthcare partners who can confidently navigate the balance between quality and regulatory requirements—while also keeping costs in check. We are not just any plastics supplier—we are your full-service partner for medical technology, with expertise in materials and an understanding of the industry, knowledge of regulatory requirements, validation, and documentation, as well as technical know-how.

With our comprehensive selection of approved engineering thermoplastics, polyolefins, and TPEs with verified biocompatibility, we develop and supply high-performance plastic solutions for demanding healthcare applications. We understand what matters most to you—at every stage of development and throughout the entire product lifecycle:

  • Component Optimization for Manufacturing-Friendly Design

  • Material Selection Guidance from a Regulatory Perspective

  • Tolerance Analysis and Functional Validation

  • Tool Design for Reproducible Mass Production Processes

  • Support for validation requirements (IQ/OQ/PQ)

  • A robust, cost-effective production solution with minimal project risk

  • Quality Management System

  • Process Reliability in Mass Production

  • Auditability

  • Risk Mitigation in the Mass Production Process

Strong partners. For reliable medical devices.

Grässlin offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios of thermoplastic polymers in Europe. With our wide selection of approved engineering thermoplastics, polyolefins, and TPEs with proven biocompatibility, we provide high-quality plastic solutions for numerous applications in the healthcare sector. Whether standard plastics, engineering plastics, or high-performance polymers—we deliver plastic solutions for top performance in medical technology:

  • Biocompatible in accordance with ISO 10993 and/or USP Class VI

  • Suitable for sterilization and disinfection procedures
    (ETO, gamma, steam—depending on the material)

  • Gentle on the skin

  • Documented Material Compliance

Europe-wide network. For projects from concept to medical device.

More than 200 specialized engineers—within the Hromatka Group—and sales experts carefully identify and sample the ideal material for your healthcare application and the success of your project. With a strong focus on sustainability, most of our polymers are available in both fossil-based and bio-based versions. And because every project is unique, we offer custom compounding—we transform materials into tailor-made innovations.

Through close collaboration with leading companies and research institutions, as well as our network of experienced product development experts at Impetus Plastics Engineering, we support projects from the initial concept to the finished product.

Whether it’s functional internal components, diagnostic devices, ventilators and therapy devices, infusion and dosing systems, surgical instruments, single-use and reusable components, or visible housing parts—we support the development of components that meet both technical and regulatory requirements.

Plastics for Sustainable Solutions in Medical Technology

For us, sustainability begins with renewable raw materials and ends with the responsible collection of production waste for post-industrial recycling. Many of our partners are ISCC PLUS- and ISO 9001-certified—ensuring comprehensive quality and sustainability. This is how we create a holistic solution that protects the environment while also easing the strain on your budget.
