Formlabs BioMed Elastic 50A Resin Cartridge Form 4, 1L

Create exceptionally soft and flexible biocompatible parts with Formlabs BioMed Elastic 50A Resin Cartridge Form 4, 1L. This transparent, medical-grade elastomer features a 50A Shore durometer, making it the ideal material for producing comfortable, patient-specific devices and realistic soft-tissue anatomical models. Manufactured in an FDA-registered, ISO 13485 facility and USP Class VI certified, this soft biocompatible resin empowers medical professionals to innovate with confidence, replacing slow and costly molding workflows.

Print Lifelike, Biocompatible Soft Parts

Designed for Patient Comfort

Leverage this highly elastic material to produce mass-personalized medical devices that feel great and are comfortable for long-term skin contact. Eliminate the need for molding by directly 3D printing flexible, patient-specific parts that offer a superior fit and feel.

Realistic Models for Surgical Planning

Provide surgeons with tangible, lifelike models for pre-operative planning and reference. BioMed Elastic 50A Resin produces soft tissue models—including organs, muscle, and complex vasculature—that mimic the feel and biomechanics of human tissue, enhancing preparation and training for complex procedures.

Functional Transparency

The transparent nature of the material allows for a clear view of internal structures. This is invaluable for creating models where visualizing the flow of tools or fluids within the part is critical for design validation and functional testing.

Certified for Medical-Grade Applications

Print with the assurance of a material manufactured to the highest quality standards. This resin is produced in strict adherence to ISO 13485 and is USP Class VI certified, making it suitable for applications requiring long-term skin contact (>30 days) and short-term mucosal membrane contact (<24 hours).

Key Applications in Advanced Healthcare

Directly 3D print soft, elastic, and biocompatible parts, significantly reducing production time and costs. BioMed Elastic 50A Resin is ideal for:

• Comfortable medical devices requiring long-term skin contact, such as wearables and patient-specific cushions.
• Realistic soft tissue models for surgical planning and education, including organs, muscles, and complex vascular networks.

*The final device manufacturer is responsible for validating the biocompatibility and performance of all printed parts for their specific application and use. Formlabs provides extensive biocompatibility and sterilization data to support this process.

Material Properties

• Hardness Shore A: 50A
• Ultimate Tensile Strength: 2.3 MPa
• Stress at 50% Elongation: 1 MPa
