Anyone who lives in the world with access to running water, electricity, or sanitation has already enjoyed some of the benefits of PVC film. This well-researched and versatile plastic made from oil and salt are also one of the most sustainable materials on the planet. As a result, PVC is now also present in many medical devices, two of the most common being containers and pipes.
Plastics were not widely used in the medical industry until the 1960s. Subsequently, the risk of medical device infection was significantly higher than it is now. Today, hospitals around the world use single-use PVC containers, such as blood bags and oxygen masks, allowing for better sterilization of equipment and reducing the risk of infection for patients. Compared to similar plastic products, PVC is made from 57% chlorine and requires less oil and heat to produce. It is also 100% recyclable.
PVC is ideal for medical tubing. It's flexible, but the tough material resists scratches and kinks that would render less material useless or even dangerous in a medical setting. Additionally, since medical tubing is often in direct contact with patient skin or body fluids, PVC's inherent sterilization suitability makes it ideal for this type of medical device. Also, as hospitals and clinics use PVC film tubing daily and in relatively high quantities, its ability to reuse it significantly reduces plastic waste and carbon dioxide emissions.
