TPE 让医疗应用色彩纷呈

热塑宝 M 和热塑宝 H 系列 TPE，安全着色解决方案

在医疗环境中，不同的颜色表示不同的目的。急救时，颜色代码可以让医护人员快速果断地做出反应。还可以用颜色来确认医疗器械的状态，协助识别哪些设备正在运行，这在繁忙的医疗环境中尤为重要。设计医疗器械时加入不同的颜色，可以帮助医生在操作时避免人为失误。同样地，颜色还可以表示治疗目的。比如，某些就颜色与治愈、振奋、休息和恢复患者和医护人员的健康有关。

医疗器械设计人员和制造商可利用先进的材料，如热塑性弹性体（TPE），来完成符合行业标准和安全性的设计。

TPE shows winning colors in medical applications

THERMOLAST® M and THERMOLAST® H TPEs for safe coloring solutions

Different colors are used for different purposes in a medical setting. During an emergency, color codes are used to enable medical personnel to respond quickly and decisively. Colors are also used to determine the status of medical devices and to aid identifying the equipment that is being used, which is especially important in a busy medical environment. They are also used in the design of medical devices to assist doctors avoid human errors while operating them. Similarly, colors are tapped for therapeutic purposes. Certain colors are associated with healing, upliftment, rest, and restoring the well-being of both patients and healthcare workers.

Medical device designers and manufacturers can rely on advanced materials such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) to create industry-standard and safety-compliant designs.
