(2) Good toughness, strong penetration resistance, durability, and some plastics can be used normally at high temperatures.
(3) Transparency, better investigation in the medical process, especially during the operation.
(4) It is easy to mold, suitable for producing various medical devices and supplies with various shapes and structures, and only needs to use low-cost production technology. Corrosion or color change will not occur with disinfectant or high temperature sterilization.
(5) Compared with other raw materials such as metals, the cost is low, and it is more suitable for the production of disposable wear and tear. The use of packaging materials after disinfection helps to reduce the risk of infection.
