Material Testing Achievements for Nile Polymers Products
Nile Polymers is pleased to announce that our Fluorinar-C™ Kynar® PVDF filament along with our Strong-Ty™ Kynar® PVDF cable ties have passed the cytotoxicity testing standards for ISO 10993-5:2009. This important material qualification provides additonal confidence not available in other filament and cable tie products.
The ISO page for this standard defines this test as follows:
ISO 10993-5:2009 describes test methods to assess the in vitro cytotoxicity of medical devices.
These methods specify the incubation of cultured cells in contact with a device and/or extracts of a device either directly or through diffusion.
These methods are designed to determine the biological response of mammalian cells in vitro using appropriate biological parameters.
