Medical PETG
The medical-grade PETG filament is a transparent, high-quality thermoplastic made from polyethylene glycol terephthalate glycol-modified.
Produced in France from ISO 10993-5 certified pellets for skin contact, this material combines ease of use, chemical resistance, and strength, making it ideal for functional prototypes and non-implantable medical devices.
Zoom on medical PETG
Its technical characteristics
- Material: PETG (Polyethylene glycol terephthalate glycol-modified)
- Color: Transparent
- Appearance: Rigid, glossy finish
- Diameters: 1.75 mm & 2.85 mm
- Spool weight: 500 g
- Origin: Made in France
- Certification: ISO 10993-5 (skin contact)
Its printing properties
Recommended printing parameters for reliable and smooth results:
- Extrusion temperature: 230 – 245 °C
- Bed temperature: 75 – 85 °C
- Print speed: 40 – 70 mm/s
PETG prints easily with excellent layer adhesion and minimal warping, even without an enclosed chamber.
Its mechanical and thermal properties
- High chemical and thermal resistance
- Strong and impact-resistant
- Low deformation (minimal warping)
- Amorphous rigid thermoplastic
These features make PETG suitable for durable, dimensionally stable, and high-quality medical prototypes.
Its areas of application
The medical PETG filament is recommended for:
- Medical device prototyping in contact with skin or fluids (ventilators, tubing, suction, etc.)
- Packaging and blister prototypes for medical use
- Functional parts and testing tools in clinical environments
Its advantages and precautions
Advantages
- ISO 10993-5 certified for skin contact
- High mechanical and chemical strength
- Transparent for visual inspection
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Easy to print
Precautions
- Not implantable, external use only
- Avoid prolonged exposure >80 °C
- Store in a dry place to ensure consistent extrusion
