CALIBRE™ MEGARAD™ 2081-6LR Polycarbonate resin was developed for medical applications requiring improved resistance to lipids over standard polycarbonate resins. When exposed to a 20% intralipid emulsion solution under strained conditions, CALIBRE MEGARAD 2081-6LR exhibits significant property retention compared to standard polycarbonate. It also provides end-users of radiation sterilized medical devices a color closer to the water-clear look of the natural resin. When exposed to high energy radiation (gamma or electron beam), CALIBRE MEGARAD 2081-6LR can reduce the color shift by 50% compared to general purpose polycarbonate resins.

CALIBRE MEGARAD 2081-6LR has been evaluated with respect to ISO 10993 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices) and is suitable for use in approved medical applications.
