Why Choose BioMed Flex 80A Resin?

Achieve new design possibilities and efficiencies using 3D printing and BioMed Flex 80A Resin, from producing flexible biocompatible medical devices to anatomical models requiring biocompatibility.


Flexible

Produce flexible medical devices or firm tissue models requiring short-term mucosal membrane contact that can optimize mass personalization applications versus using cumbersome molds.


Transparent

Produce complex transparent firm tissue models and bring them directly into the operating room (O.R.) as a reference for complex medical procedures (eg. sizing models, cartilage models, or disease organs.)


Medical-Grade Material, Biocompatible Parts

Leverage a material manufactured within our Quality Management Systems, with strict adherence to ISO 13485. Instill confidence that this material is suitable for biocompatible applications with long-term skin (>30 days), short-term mucosal membrane contact (<24 hours), and USP Class VI certifications.

Applications*

Directly 3D print flexible parts requiring biocompatibility with BioMed Flex 80A Resin. Reduce workflow times by eliminating molding to directly produce flexible, patient-specific medical devices or firm tissue medical models surgeons can reference in the O.R.


BioMed Flex 80A Resin is ideal for:

Flexible biocompatible medical devices and components
Medical devices requiring short-term mucosal membrane contact
Firm tissue models to assist in surgeries

*Unlike Formlabs Dental Resins, no intended uses are provided for BioMed Resins. Material properties may vary based on part design, manufacturing practices, and other methods. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility and its respective customers and end-users to determine the biocompatibility and performance of all printed parts for their respective application and use. To instill confidence in potential users, Formlabs has tested biocompatibility for common use cases and manufactures BioMed Resins in an ISO 13485-certified facility. We can offer representative examples of what customers have done with our products and the supporting documentation we make freely available.

Formlabs manufactures our Biomed and Medical Device Resins at our FDA Registered facility in Ohio. These materials are designed and manufactured within our robust Quality Management System that is ISO 13485 and EU MDR certified. A dedicated team of operators and quality assurance professionals make the resins inside a certified ISO Class 8 clean room. All of our Medical Device Resins are appropriately registered with FDA and CE marked according to the EU MDR. View our ISO 13485 certification.
