Plastics play a critical role in pharmaceutical and medical applications. Solvay products have been specifically designed for healthcare applications and the packaging of medicines.

Dental and surgical objects
Solvay specialty plastics are durable and well-suited for dental and surgical objects such as trays, instruments and devices that have to resist thousands of disinfection cycles.

Implantable medical devices
Solviva™ Biomaterials form a new family of polymers for use in implantable medical devices, both for short- and long-term exposure applications.

Membranes, colostomy bags, catheters and pouches
Solvay specialty plastics are used in many applications including filtration membranes, unbreakable micropipettes and colostomy bags.  PVC is used for flexible tubing, catheters, surgical gloves, blood bags and pouches.

Blister packaging for pharmaceuticals
Solvay PVDC plastics, fully compliant for applications involving drug contact, are used for pharmaceutical blister packaging applications. These blister packages offer high barrier protection.
