Biocompatible, sterilizable, and durable
MPU 100 is Carbon’s first medical-grade material, designed to help medical product manufacturers accelerate product development cycles and improve the quality of their products. The material offers a unique combination of biocompatibility, sterilizability, and durability, in addition to engineering-grade mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. MPU 100 is comparable to medical-grade ABS.
A master file is available at the FDA.

Example Applications
These applications combine a need for mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and sterilizability, in addition to isotropy, great surface finish, and accuracy.
It is the sole responsibility of the Subscriber or manufacturer of the end-use-product to determine that the final product, including any products manufactured using Carbon Products, meets relevant testing and biocompatibility requirements and is otherwise safe and effective for its intended use.
Medical Products And Devices
Covers, guards, and housings for medical products and devices require mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and sterilizability, in addition to isotropy, a great surface finish, and resolution for fine features.
Skin Contact Applications
Prosthetics require strength, biocompatibility, and sterilizability, in addition to isotropy and a smooth surface finish.
Single-Use Surgical Instruments
Handles, guides, and trials require strength, biocompatibility, and sterilizability, in addition to isotropy, great surface finish, and resolution for fine features.
Drug Contact Devices
Inhalers, auto-injectors, and pill bottles require strength, biocompatibility, and sterilizability, in addition to isotropy, great surface finish, and resolution for fine features
