Fig. 13.1 Polymers used for medical devices for dialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Polyurethane (PUR) is applied as potting material for capillary membranes, silicone tings guarantee a leak-age-free system, polycarbonate and polypropylene are used for casings, and a series of polymers are incorporated as membrane materials (P5M-polysulfone, P S-polyether-sulfone, PA-polyamide, PAAf-polyacrylonitrile, PMMA-polymethylmethacrylate, CIA-cellulose-tri-acetate). PUC-polyvinylchloride as a biomaterial for tubing needs plasticizers for its flexibility, such as D 7/P/DOP-di-ethyl-hexylphthalate/di-octyl-phthalate, TOTM-tn-octyl trimeUitate, DWCif-di-isononyl-cyclohexane...
