Vectra MT LCP
Injection-moldable LCP products have proven successful in medical devices requiring high stiffness, high aspect ratio features. Capable of thin wall molding and appropriate for direct tissue contact, Vectra MT LCP is a unique material that enables device designs that can’t be achieved with other thermoplastics.
Vectra MT LCP is the medical grade of Vectra/Zenite Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)—a family of high-performance polymers that provide dimensional precision and stability and high-temperature performance in components with thin-wall design elements.
What is medical grade Vectra MT LCP?Vectra MT LCP medical grades are manufactured using processes and controls aligned with GMP principles, provide supply assurance, are certified for biocompatibility and offer notification of change.
Why Medical Grade Vectra MT LCP?Vectra MT LCP expands design flexibility and options by reducing wall thickness. Innovative design ideas can result in smaller and smarter devices, providing more space for additional functionality and device complexity, delivering a more discreet device and a comfortable experience to patients. LCP enables efficient, high volume manufacturing with rapid molding cycles in high cavity tools, producing more parts per molding machine. Celanese also provides development services like CAE and mold flow support to supplement design efforts and enable the full range of material properties. At Celanese, we believe that supporting Medical and Pharmaceutical customers is about much more than selling a raw material. We are your materials consultants from initial concept, through part design, all the way past commercial launch of your device or combination product.
