Polymers are relatively easy and economical to manufacture, and for the healthcare industry they also withstand end sterilization procedures. Many devices require different properties such as stability of a stent combined with slow drug release to combat infections. Antimicrobials can also be added to the most of the plastics to limit bacterial growth. All components of a device can pass extensive testing to minimize risk to the patients.
