We provide best services in the world.
Material “safety” and “quality” are paramount to medical device manufacturers. In line with this commitment, ICP DAS – BMP (Biomedical Polymers), a Taiwan-based supplier of medical-grade TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), acts as a front-runner who deploys IIoT systems in a smart factory to maintain lot-to-lot consistency in TPU production. Besides, we constantly perform detailed manufacturing process analysis and upgrade production lines to ensure optimal product quality.
Technology Transfer
In 2018, ICP DAS signed a technology transfer agreement with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to formally acquire and use TPU technology and knowledge. Launching new ventures, ICP DAS established a dedicated biomedical business unit known as ICP DAS – BMP. With this strategic move, ICP DAS – BMP successfully entered into new markets for medical-grade TPU, becoming the first company in Taiwan and Asia to manufacture medical-grade TPU materials.
Reliable & High-performance TPU Series
ICP DAS – BMP offers ideal medical manufacturing materials, including three series of Alithane™ (ALP series), Durathane™ (ALC series), and Arothane™ (ARP series). All TPU pellets have passed the USP Class VI and/or ISO 10993 biocompatibility tests. Moreover, we developed a unique one-step polymerization process to produce high-performance TPU pellets available in various colors, radiopaque fillers (Tungsten/Barium Sulfate), and hardness.A
Whole Spectrum of Applications
To better meet customer-specific requirements, ICP DAS – BMP provides a broad range of medical-grade TPU products for manufacturing various medical devices and equipment. The TPU materials can be extensively used to produce catheters, cardiovascular devices, cancer treatment devices, guidewire coatings, and many more.
The applications cover electromedical equipment (respiratory), medical equipment (ventricular assist device, artificial joints), medical consumables (guide wires, medical protective clothing, catheters used to insert into the brain, optical consumables, ophthalmic surgical consumables, and orthodontics.
Certifications
ICP DAS – BMP has obtained ISO 13485 manufacturing certification for our TPU. We have our own laboratories for polymerization, physical & chemical properties analysis, and mechanical & cytotoxicity testing. In addition, TPUs that we manufacture are USP Class VI and/or ISO 10993 certified: ISO 10993-4 for hemocompatibility testing, ISO 10993-5 for cytotoxicity testing, ISO 10993-10 for irritation and skin sensitization testing, ISO 10993-11 for systemic toxicity testing, and ISO 10993-23 for irritation testing. Our product series also comply with REACH and RoHS.
Prioritize Patient Safety & Enhance Treatment Experiences
Materials with high consistency are essential for medical device manufacturing to minimize the risk of catheter-related infections. Therefore, ICP DAS – BMP places great importance on quality assurance and performs rigorous testing and thorough quality inspections for each batch of TPU produced, as a significant first step to ensure patient safety.
ICP DAS – BMP TPUs, with lot-to-lot consistency and outstanding processability, have been chosen by worldwide clients to produce components of central venous catheters (CVC) such as peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC), non-tunneled and tunneled catheters. We are committed to providing high-quality TPU to enhance the patient treatment experience.
Supported by 30 Years of Expertise
By leveraging the 30-year expertise and resources of ICP DAS, the BMP business unit is empowered to monitor machine status and environmental factors to optimize production efficiency and ensure consistent high-quality products. Expert team, rigorous testing, superior properties, shorter lead times – all these have earned the trust and confidence of worldwide manufacturers. We expect a boost to our TPU sales in China, India, Europe, and the USA this year, and we are poised to stand out in this field globally.
