Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM)
Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) offer users a more discreet and convenient way to track their glucose levels in real-time throughout the day and night, minimizing blood tests. Sensors that are in constant contact with a patient's arm or abdomen need to be biocompatible and comfortable to withstand daily activities. Applicators and monitoring devices must be easy to use and durable. To help meet these demands, Avient offers a range of healthcare-compliant solutions for CGM devices.
Highlights
- Colorable, soft touch TPEs for improved grips, aesthetics, and haptics. They can be overmolded onto a variety of substrates, are compliant with ISO10993 & USP Class VI, and can be customized based on application need.
- High-performance thermoplastics with excellent chemical resistance, UV-blocking capability, and good impact performance for durability; available in natural grades, standard medical colors, or custom pre-colored products.
- Color and functional additive masterbatches pre-tested to ISO, US Pharmacopeia, European Pharmacopeia, and ICH Q3D protocols for increased appeal and performance
