"What is a medical grade, and when do I need one?"

If you've ever asked that question, you're not alone. It's probably one of the most common questions I get.

I just got back from the VDI conference on medical-grade plastics, and they updated the VDI 2017 guideline.

Spoiler: It's not about biocompatibility. It's about the service package.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
✔ The four key components of a medical grade (according to VDI 2017)
✔ How supply security works during disruptions like COVID
✔ What regulatory support actually means (and why it matters)
✔ When you should choose a medical grade vs. a food grade vs. a general purpose
✔ Why medical grades cost more and when the price is justified
