Functional Resins
BiomedicalSmoothFunctionalTransparent

Surgical guide resin is a biocompatible photopolymer resin made of a mixture of methacrylic esters and photo-initiators. It is non-cytotoxic, not a sensitizer, non-irritating, and it complies with ISO 10993-1:2018. It is commonly used for prototyping surgical guides, pilot drill guides, and drilling templates.

Surgical guide resin parts are translucent, and they shift from yellow to orange during the post-curing step due to a safety requirement. Sterilization must also follow specific protocols to avoid degrading accuracy.
