The role of materials in the medical device industry

The current medical equipment industry requires materials with high cleanliness, good antibacterial ability, easy to sterilize and not deformed when exposed to cleaning chemicals, high temperature or humid environment. In particular, SUS304 stainless steel is considered the ideal and most popular choice, ensuring medical safety , mechanical strength and high aesthetics at the same time .

What is SUS304 stainless steel?

Stainless steel SUS304 belongs to the Austenitic stainless steel group, containing about 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel , creating corrosion resistance, acid resistance and maintaining natural shine. In particular, stainless steel 304 does not contain toxic substances , does not react with the medical environment, ensuring biological safety when in contact with the human body or surgical instruments.

Practical application of SUS304 stainless steel in medical equipment

At Oristar, SUS304 stainless steel is widely used to manufacture and process medical equipment such as:

  • Operating table, hospital bed, patient trolley
  • Medicine cabinet, medical sink, surgical table
  • Sterilization tray, surgical instrument box
  • Testing machine housing, patient care support equipment

All of these products require materials that are durable , easy to disinfect , and do not deform or rust after many uses - properties that SUS304 stainless steel meets very well.

Outstanding advantages of SUS304 stainless steel in medical environment

✔ Good biosafety and antibacterial properties

Does not react chemically with blood, medications or antiseptic solutions. Natural antibacterial properties help prevent the risk of cross-infection.

✔ Easy to clean and disinfect

The surface is shiny, dirt-resistant and can be cleaned quickly with UV rays, steam or strong cleaning chemicals.

✔ High heat and impact resistance

No deformation at sterilization temperatures (up to 180°C) and retains its strength after many autoclaving cycles.

✔ High durability, saving investment costs

Long lasting, less damage, minimize maintenance and replacement costs.
