Poly-tungsten--Alternative for Lead in Medical Device

Poly-tungsten is lead alternative material in medical devices following regulation in the use of lead and other hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment. The material alternative, poly-tungsten thermoplastic, can be machined and fabricated in a variety of configurations.

Poly-tungsten thermoplastic-based material has the density of traditional metals without the safety issues associated with lead. Poly-tungsten is more durable than other lead substitutes and offers equal or better radiation-shielding capabilities. Because it is malleable, poly-tungsten offers increased design flexibility and the opportunity to create molded parts in lieu of multi-part assemblies.

Most expense associated with hazardous materials – from material handling and manufacturing to employee safety and disposal – is eliminated with poly-tungsten. In addition, the malleable material gives designers freedom that they haven't enjoyed in the past. As a result, poly-tungsten to be a cost-effective and attractive alternative to lead.
