Abstract

Plastic has done more to revolutionize the medical industry over the past century than any other material. Syringes, intravenous bags, personal protective equipment (PPE), catheters, and test kits-plastic is ubiquitous throughout medicine. It's easy to see why. Plastic is low-cost, easy to process, and can be sterilized efficiently.
