Mitsubishi Chemical has a long track record of adoption of urethane resins for medical use.
We acquired AdvanSource Biomaterials Corporation in North America in 2020.
We supply urethane-based resins (various compounds and coatings) used in implants and catheter products.
Flexible customization is also possible to meet a wide range of mechanical properties and processing method needs.

Mitsubishi Chemical's urethane resins have high biocompatibility, allowing us to offer a wide range of materials tailored to various applications and required properties, such as implantation in the body and high sliding properties.

Furthermore, our products are manufactured and developed under ISO 13485 certification and comply with various biological safety assessments, including USP Class VI.

Please verify suitability for your intended use with the final product.
