Makrofol® medical grade film: clear, tough, sterile, and rigid packaging for breast implants

Breast implants require rigid packaging that is transparent, exceptionally impact-resistant and highly sterile. Our Makrofol® MA507 and MA336 polycarbonate films are compatible with autoclave sterilization at temperatures 121°C and beyond and offer the optical clarity needed for visual inspection of the product before unpacking.

Makrofol® medical-grade films combine optical clarity with impact-resistant, sterilization-friendly packaging

Our high-performance Makrofol® MA507 and MA336 films are a professional choice for breast implant packaging because they provide the outstanding transparency needed for a detailed visual conformity inspection before unpacking, and are fully compatible with autoclave sterilization (temperatures of 121°C and beyond), which other polymers cannot endure. The MA336 film also allows for an additional layer of lamination.

Our medical-grade films are resistant to impact, punctures and cracking, ensuring sturdy protection for high-value healthcare items including implants. This high impact resistance coupled with the ability to withstand steam sterilization is what distinguishes transparent polycarbonate films from other medical packaging solutions.

The exceptional impact and tear resistance offered by Makrofol® MA507 and MA336 films also ensures that high-value medical items can be transported safely and arrive in the operating theater undamaged.

Both films are easy to thermoform and also comply with the ISO 9001:2015 quality management standard and two standard specifications for implantable breast prosthesis packaging of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

Clear, rigid Makrofol® medical-grade films help surgeons to prevent implant damage and also give patients a greater peace of mind.
