▪ Description
ArothaneTM ARP-85A-W50 is medical grade aromatic polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) loaded with 50% Tungsten as radiopacifier. It exhibits higher contrast compared to Barium Sulfate and 30% Tungsten. ARP-85A-W50 maintains the superior mechanical properties, excellent hydrolytic resistance, oxidative stability, chemical resistance and biocompatibility of clear grade ARP. It is typically a material of choice for guide wire coating or extrusion process.
▪ Biocompatibility
ArothaneTM ARP-85A-W50 pellets passed the Hemolysis test (ISO 10993-4), MEM Elution test (ISO 10993-5), Intracutaneous Irritation test (ISO 10993-10：2010 & 10993-23：2021), Dermal Sensitization test (ISO 10993-10：2010, 2021), Acute Systemic Toxicity test (ISO 10993-11) and in vivo Pyrogen test (ISO 10993-11, USP<151>.)
