PVC has been an ally of health professionals for half a century now. More than 25% of medical equipment manufactured from synthetic materials is made of PVC.

PVC is resistant, flexible, easy to sterilise, chemically stable, well tolerated by the human body and provides a perfect seal. It is used in many public-health applications, several of which are absolutely vital to patients:  blood bags, catheters, oxygen masks, surgical gloves, sterile packaging, tubes and conduits.

PVC is the only plastic material authorised by European pharmacopoeias for packaging and storing blood.
