Proteus® LSG HS PP

Quadrant’s Proteus® LSG HS PP (heat-stabilized Polypropylene) exhibits a heat deflection temperature that allows the material to be used in repeated steam and autoclave sterilization cycles. It is highly resistant to cleaning agents, disinfectants and various solvents.

Product Overview.

• Superior resistance to common autoclave/steam sterilization techniques as a result of the high heat deflection temperature (HDT > 149 °C/300 °F per ASTM D 648).
• Excellent dimensional stability.
• Proven biocompatibility per ISO 10993-5 on stock shapes to meet compliance requirements.
• Excellent machinabililty.
• Lot traceability & material certification.
• Available in standard colors: white and black.

Product Details.

Typical applications for Proteus® LSG HS PP include surgical trays, caddies and instrument components. 

The production process includes a special heat-treatment phase that allows for the higher heat deflection temperature and, thus, improved machinability and dimensional stability.
Under the label of Quadrant’s Life Science Grades (LSG), Proteus® LSG HS PP shapes are tested and certified for biocompatibility per ISO10993-5 to ensure quality throughout the entire manufacturing process. This offers the designer increased safety, approval facilitation, as well as reduced cost and time to market.
