Where the need for steam-sterilised medical devices exists, polypropylene is a cost-effective medical-grade plastic material. Mechanical performance characteristics of polypropylene include durability for the number of cycles it may be reused in addition to resistance to steam sterilisation.
Disposable syringes, connectors, finger-joint prosthesis, non-absorbable sutures, reusable plastic containers, pharmacy prescription bottles, and clear bags are all frequently made of polypropylene. All hospital cleaning detergents are compatible with polypropylene, and it is resistant to chemical deterioration.
Because blood protein does not stick to the surface of polypropylene and can be easily removed from the device, polypropylene provides improved cleaning and sterilisation results.

The global medical grade Polypropylene (PP) market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Launch of controlled medical-grade PP copolymer by Borealis and Borouge.
Specifically to help healthcare customers achieve complete regulatory compliance in the development of medical and diagnostic devices, Borealis Bormed BJ868MO was created. Borealis (Vienna) and Borouge (Abu Dhabi), providers of polymer materials, have created a high-flow, heterophasic polypropylene copolymer for the manufacture of medical and diagnostic devices.
This week at Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West in Anaheim, California, and Pharmapack in Paris, the Borealis Bormed line of polyethylene and polypropylene products expanded with the addition of Bormed BJ868MO. For the specific purpose of enabling Borealis and Borouge healthcare customers to achieve complete regulatory compliance in the production of medical and diagnostic devices such as pipettes, Borealis Bormed BJ868MO was created.
The Bormed Concept, which ensures Borealis and Borouge customers a secure, long-term supply of materials in conformity with European and American pharmacopoeia and ISO standards, includes the Bormed BJ868MO.
Customers are informed of any modifications to the product within a two-year pre-notification period under the Bormed Concept. Retaining quality control data and samples ensures long-term product traceability. In collaboration with Premix Oy, a Finnish maker of electrically conductive and high frequency plastics, the newly developed material’s validity was tested.
