RADIOPAQUE
Colorite
radiopaque compounds are available in a variety of hardness and opacifier
type. These compounds are designed for use as radiopaque striping or to be
extruded into catheter tubing.
Radiopacity is obtained through the incorporation of barium sulphate in a non-toxic vinyl base. Complete traceability of all components are maintained to comply with GMP requirements for medical applications.
