Product Technology Advance Rapidly
Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx News)--Eastman Chemicals and Plastics copolyester
is material of choice for Hollister, developer, manufacturer and marketer
of medical solutions.
Medical product technology is advancing rapidly thanks to innovative
material solutions like Eastman Chemical Company's Eastar copolyester
used in the manufacture of skin barriers for colostomy, ileostomy and
urostomy products by Hollister Incorporated.
An independent, employee-owned company that develops, manufactures, and
markets a wide range of healthcare products, Hollister Incorporated, Libertyville,
Ill., has also selected Eastar copolyester for use in its horizontal tube
attachment devices and moist wound care dressings.
"Qualifying Eastar copolyester has helped Hollister Incorporated, continue
to deliver a product of superior quality to the customers we serve," said
Michael Dragan, Hollister senior sourcing and supply specialist. "Eastman's
Eastar copolyester emerged as the material of choice due to its
design flexibility and stability when sterilized."
Recognized throughout the medical industry for its superior performance,
pristine clarity and gamma sterilization, Eastar copolyester is the preferred
material of choice for an impressive range of products. Eastar copolyester's
extraordinary toughness, superior chemical resistance and barrier properties
allow it to withstand stress, impact and attacks from a variety of medical

flexibility allowing snap-fit assembly to eliminate costly solvent bonding.

making it ideal for medical applications. Eastman's Eastar copolyester
product line offers a spectrum of choices formulated to meet multiple
biological, regulatory, sterilization and disposal requirements. It also
provides an outstanding solution for tubing, medical devices, and rigid
or flexible packaging.
