Material Selection

Material selection is an integral part of eco-design and a crucial step towards enhancing the sustainability of medical device development. It not only impacts the device’s environmental footprint but also plays a role in long-term product performance and compliance with emerging regulations.

When selecting alternative materials, it’s essential to balance parameters like strength, durability, and cost against key sustainability indicators, including the carbon footprint of manufacturing, energy consumption, and the reusability or recyclability of the material. In the context of medical devices, additional factors such as biocompatibility, sterilization potential, and patient safety must also be carefully considered.
