An experienced plastic distribution entrepreneur based in Neenah, Wisconsin, Timothy Hoger founded Wisconsin Plastics in 1999 and has served as its president since its inception. Timothy Hoger oversees all parts of the plastics distribution and machining firm, which serves clients in a variety of industries, including medical plastic for the healthcare business.
Medical plastic has revolutionized the healthcare business, making it more seamless to sterilize instruments and also making procedures and treatments safe for both patients and clinicians. With all of the great advances in prosthetics and artificial organs that are emerging in the medical profession in the modern days, thinking about plastic as a realistic choice for organ replacement can be disconcerting. However, medical-grade polycarbonate and polypropylene sheets, as well as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), are appropriate for these operations because they can withstand several sterilizations and prolonged contact with biological fluids. Furthermore, most plastics do not cause allergies.
3D printing technology is another important element in the adoption of medical plastic for healthcare advances. When it was found in the early 2000s that living cells could withstand being "printed" through inkjet printer nozzles, 3D printing became a viable method for manufacturing prostheses and organs. Advanced 3D printing technology is now being utilized to connect plastic polymers with these live cells in order to generate a functioning and living tissue that retains its structure. While 3D printers aren't used in all medical-grade plastics, they are ideal for more personalized treatments.
