Medical Grade Bioplastics
For medical technology & laboratory
Single Use - Consumables and instruments
Their single-use products, whether surgical instrument, IVD or laboratory product, are future-proof with MedEco plastics from BIOVOX. Free from critical substances such as BPA or phthalates, they have excellent proven biocompatibility. High strength and stiffness variants allow less material to be used; soft variants allow flexible components. Maximum transparency is also possible.
For instruments we recommend the following MedEco types:
MedEco ICB
Transparent, stiff and high strength: our very easy to process injection moulding type.
MedEco ICB C1
Highly transparent even with large wall thicknesses and cost-effective
MedEco IGH
Extra rigid, increased elongation at break and high strength - even for extremely thin-walled components.
Packaging
Whether a sterile barrier as a hard or soft PET blister, or a simple, soft PE bag, your packaging will be climate-friendly and recyclable with our MedEco extrusion types. With up to 100% bio content and excellent properties as a monomaterial, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will also lose its fright. Of course, our packaging plastics are also medical grade and meet the highest quality standards.
For packaging we recommend the following MedEco types:
MedEco XCB
Highly transparent blister with excellent mechanical properties with XCB.

MedEco XGB
Extra rigid, increased elongation at break and high strength - for opaque foils and profiles.
Tubes
For the extrusion of your flexible tubes or rigid profiles, we have suitable MedEco bioplastics in medical grade for you. Resistant to chemicals and pharmaceuticals and, if necessary, with mechanical properties adapted to your application. Our materials are free from migrating additives and so-called Substances of Concern - made from plant-based polymers.
For tubes we recommend the following MedEco types:
COMING SOON
MedEco XPI C3
Soft, transparent tubes with extra high elongation at break, very durable.
Coming soon
MedEco XCB
Extra transparent for very stiff profiles, very resistant to greases and oils.
MedEco XGB
Extra rigid, increased elongation at break and high strength - even for extremely thin-walled profiles.
Durable medical devices & equipment
We also offer stabilized bioplastics that can withstand frequent treatment with surface disinfectants, as well as flame retardant options. Let's talk about your requirements!

Success Story
Successful redesign of a trocar
A project team from Röchling Medical Waldachtal AG set out to sustainably redesign one of their medical devices. With success! The carbon footprint of the trocar was reduced by half. This was achieved by, among other things, switching to bioplastic: The trocar mandrel was manufactured from our MedEco compounds.
