Dr. Henderson's presentation will focus on the rising industry demands placed upon medical device manufacturers to help protect health care providers and consumers from infection, contamination, and reactions to natural rubber allergies. Dr. Henderson will discuss how Cariflex polyisoprene products from Kraton Polymers enable these manufacturers to engineer new generations of products that offer an outstanding combination of safety and comfort for both patients and health care professionals. Dr. Henderson will provide detailed, comparative performance data in specific applications, such as medical stoppers and surgical gloves.
Interested parties are encouraged to attend Dr. Henderson's free and highly informative presentation by registering for the conference at the MEDTEC Europe website. You are also invited to meet with Kraton product experts in Booth #1F51 to discover how Cariflex polyisoprene products effectively serve other medical device markets including catheters, tube connectors, needle shields, probe covers, and cohesive bandages without the impurities that cause discoloration, odor, and allergic reactions. Cariflex products offer a pure and versatile option for manufacturing applications that require the high tensile strength and tear resistance of natural rubber. Cariflex polyisoprene latex is a clean alternative that can be substituted for natural rubber latex with minimal capital investment.
