PP Mono Orthoses and Splints

Farid Taher | Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle

For reasons of hygiene and safety, the field of medicine uses vast quantities of disposable products. The costs of disposal are correspondingly high. The robust PP Mono wrist orthoses and finger splints demonstrate how high-quality medical products made using reusable, recyclable and recycled components are indeed possible. The use of a single polymer facilitates single-variety waste collection and recycling into solid and returnable solutions. In this way, medical products that have previously been used only once and for a short time can be fed into a material cycle by means of reprocessing.
