Plastic medical equipment has a promising future and wide applications

Medical care is one of the three major livelihood topics, and the supporting medical equipment industry has also received increasing attention. The medical equipment industry is also a big treasure trove, and many enterprises are deeply exploring it.

In recent years, the market price of medical devices is very small. At present, it has exceeded the scale of 100 billion yuan. The annual market growth rate is about 23%. By 2015, the market will reach 340 billion yuan. Moreover, with the increasing proportion of the aging population in China and the acceleration of the urban process, the market will further expand in the future.

Plastic medical equipment is becoming increasingly widely used, from hoses, needles, surgical instruments to packaging of drugs and pharmaceuticals, all of which require polymer materials. It is expected that demand will continue to rise at a growth rate of 6.5% until 2018. The demand for plastic medical equipment is constantly expanding, especially medical equipment that can be inserted into the human body. Nowadays, the specifications and volume of medical equipment are constantly shrinking, expanding from single to diversified. Plastic medical equipment has various outstanding advantages and is widely used, thus increasing its market influence.

At present, there are also many hidden dangers in the medical device industry, such as limited domestic production capacity, foreign technology monopoly, and huge loss of revenue in the medical device market. China has a vast territory, and many units' medical equipment cannot meet the needs of patients. However, the medical device industry is closely related to human health and has strong demand for rigidity.

As a production and research and development enterprise of medical equipment, it is necessary to adapt to the needs of the development of the situation, improve the quality and technical strength of products, diversify functional styles, and meet the needs of the people for medical devices as much as possible. Only in this way can we gain an advantage in competition and stand invincible.

With the growth of population and the increasing proportion of aging population, coupled with the scarcity of existing medical and health institutions at all levels of large, medium, and small, and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for the selection of medical equipment are becoming increasingly advanced, with more diversified functions, and the market capacity will continue to expand. Therefore, only by improving product quality and technological strength, and gaining insight into the development direction of the market, can we stand undefeated in market competition and become the overall leader in the medical equipment industry

Attachment:

Why is the demand potential of the medical device market so great? It mainly has the following advantages:

1. Lightweight, easy to use, and beneficial for reducing fatigue caused by prolonged surgeries for doctors. More suitable for human blood and muscle tissue. 

2. Good toughness, strong impermeability, durability, and some plastics can also be used normally at high temperatures. 

3. Transparent, allowing for better observation during medical procedures, especially during surgical procedures. 

4. Easy to form, suitable for producing various shapes and complex structures of medical devices and supplies, and only requiring low-cost production processes. The use of disinfectant or high-temperature sterilization will not cause corrosion or color change. 

5. Compared with other raw materials such as metal, it has lower cost and is more suitable for producing consumables. After disinfection, it can be used as packaging material to help reduce the risk of infection. 

6. Compared to fragile materials such as ceramics or glass, it is safer to use, especially as a packaging material
