Bio-Med Flex
Liqcreate Bio-Med Flex is a Shore A73 flexible biocompatble photopolymer resin and can be processed on most resin based 3D-printers. 3D-printed parts from this material exhibit biocompatible properties when post processed according to the processing instructions1. After washing and post-curing according to the instructions, printed parts from Liqcreate Bio-Med Flex pass the biocompatibility tests of:
| ○ Cytotoxicity | ISO 10993-5:2009 |
| ○ Sensitization | ISO 10993-10:2021 |
| ○ Irritation | ISO 10993-23:2021 |
When using this product for making a regulated medical device the user must assume all the responsibility for registration and use of this device. Printed parts from Bio-Med Flex can be disinfected with commonly used disinfectants and sterilized by steam sterilization using an autoclave.

[1]Follow the processing instructions to obtain biocompatible parts. [2]Washed in IPA for 2 x 3 minutes in an ultrasonic cleaner. The second wash cycle is performed in fresh IPA followed by 60 minutes resting. UV post-curing for 10 minutes immersed in a transparent cup of water, followed by 120 minutes at 60°C in the Formlabs Formcure(1st generation). These values may vary and depend on individual machine processing and post-curing.
