Reliable performance for modern medical devices: Luran® S MED 797S SPF30

Medical technology is evolving. Populations are aging, and more patients rely on devices at home or on the move. Blood pressure monitors, thermometers, insulin pens, pulse oximeters and other portable systems are no longer confined to clinical settings. They are part of everyday life.

This shift raises the bar for materials. Devices must be robust, safe and durable, while maintaining a high-quality appearance over time.

The challenge: Durability, hygiene and design freedom

Homecare and portable medical devices face daily stress. They are carried in bags, used outdoors, cleaned frequently and sometimes dropped. Most polymers often reach their limits when impact resistance, UV stability and chemical resistance are required at the same time. Therefore, manufacturers need a material that protects sensitive technology inside, withstands disinfectants and supports precise, attractive designs.

The solution: ASA engineered for medical demands

Luran® S MED 797S SPF30 was developed specifically for these requirements. This ASA grade combines high impact strength with excellent UV stability, helping devices retain both their function and appearance over time. Even with regular exposure to cleaning agents and disinfectants, surfaces remain stable and reliable.

For producers, processing is efficient and dependable. The material offers very good flowability, enabling complex and finely structured housings to be manufactured by injection moulding with consistent quality.

A sustainable option, seamlessly integrated

With Luran® S MED 797S SPF30 BC40, we also offer a more sustainable choice. This variant contains 40% renewable feedstock and reduces the product carbon footprint by more than 50% compared to the standard grade.

Switching to the ECO version is straightforward and does not require changes to tools or processing parameters.
