The Breastlight examination device from PWB Health Ltd., also on display, uses SABIC’s Cycoloy* polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) HC resin to enhance usability in the home, enabling the healthcare industry’s move toward device portability. SABIC’s ongoing drive to improve its materials technologies and application development support – combined with local supply – is helping South American customers differentiate their products and meet the fast-changing requirements of the region’s healthcare sector.
