EPP housing for reliable medical resuscitation devices

A crucial aspect of medical resuscitation devices is their reliability and functionality in order to be able to carry out life-saving measures effectively. In this context, housings made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) are becoming increasingly important.

The CARL resuscitation system was presented in the February issue of Apotheken Umschau under the title “Pushing boundaries”.* Inside CARL, a multi-part housing made of EPP from RUCH NOVAPLAST ensures that all the important components are held securely in place.

The EPP material is very light and yet has exceptional impact resistance. This combination makes it possible to design medical devices with EPP housings that are compact yet resistant to shocks and falls. This is particularly important as resuscitation devices are often used in demanding conditions, for example during transportation or in unpredictable emergency situations.

The good insulating properties of the particle foam help to maintain the performance of the medical device during operation by ensuring a stable temperature environment for sensitive electronic components and thus increasing the efficiency and service life of the devices.
