2. Good chemical stability: PC material has good chemical stability and can withstand the corrosion of common chemicals and drugs.

3. Strong impact resistance: PC material has good impact resistance and can withstand a certain amount of impact and friction.

4. High transparency: PC material has high transparency, which can meet the requirements of material transparency in the medical field.

5. Extensive certification: PC materials have passed a number of international and national certification standards, such as ISO10993, USP CE, FDA, etc., to ensure its safety and quality.

6. Good processing performance: PC material is easy to process, and can be processed by common processing methods, such as injection molding, extrusion, etc., convenient and fast.

7. Good biocompatibility: PC material is a material with high biocompatibility, does not cause allergic or irritating reactions, and has good acceptability to human tissues. This biocompatibility makes it an ideal material for human implants.

Cons:

1. High cost: The price of PC materials is relatively high, so the cost of manufacturing medical equipment, equipment and supplies is high.

2. Poor wear resistance: The wear resistance of PC material is relatively poor, and long-term use may affect its appearance and service life.

3. Harmful to the human body: Some PC materials contain substances harmful to the human body, which may cause irritation or inflammation to the skin or other tissues.

4. Easy to crack: PC material has a certain brittleness and is prone to cracking, especially when making thinner products.

5. Fast aging speed: PC material is easy to age, and long-term use may affect its performance and service life.

6. Poor barrier performance: The barrier performance of PC material is poor, which may not be suitable for some medical equipment that needs to isolate external pollution.

To sum up, the application of PC in the field of medical equipment has some advantages and disadvantages. When choosing to use PC as a medical material, it is necessary to consider its advantages and disadvantages and the requirements of the actual use environment. At the same time, attention should be paid to the environmental protection and safety of the material.
