Formlabs BioMed Flex 80A Resin, 5L

Discover the advanced capabilities of medical manufacturing with Formlabs BioMed Flex 80A Resin, 5L. This high-performance material is engineered for professionals who require a firm yet flexible, medical-grade photopolymer. It is specifically designed for creating transparent, biocompatible parts that can withstand direct bodily contact. Please note that this large-format 5L container is intended for high-volume production and requires a specialized Resin Pump to operate with your SLA printer. Due to the specialized nature of this product, delivery times may vary as items are often made to order to ensure maximum shelf life.

Why Choose Formlabs BioMed Flex 80A Resin?

Innovative Versatility

Unlock new design horizons and operational efficiencies in the medical field. Formlabs BioMed Flex 80A Resin, 5L allows laboratories and hospitals to bypass the limitations and costs of traditional molding. By utilizing 3D printing technology, you can produce personalized medical devices and anatomical models directly. This material is manufactured in an FDA-registered, ISO 13485 certified facility, ensuring that every liter meets the rigorous standards required for healthcare applications.

Functional Flexibility

This resin is the ideal choice for applications requiring specific mechanical properties. It enables the production of flexible medical devices and firm tissue models that are comfortable for the patient yet durable enough for practical use. It is particularly effective for components requiring short-term mucosal membrane contact, allowing for the optimization of mass customization workflows without the need for cumbersome and expensive tooling.

Optical Clarity

Visualization is key in surgical planning and execution. The transparency of Formlabs BioMed Flex 80A Resin makes it perfect for printing complex firm tissue models that can be taken directly into the operating room. Surgeons can utilize these clear models as accurate references for intricate procedures, such as sizing guides, cartilage replication, or visualizing diseased organs, thereby enhancing surgical outcomes.

Biocompatibility and Safety Standards

Certified Safety

When patient safety is on the line, material certification is non-negotiable. This resin is developed within a robust Quality Management System and boasts USP Class VI certification. It provides users with the confidence to print parts suitable for long-term skin contact (greater than 30 days) and short-term mucosal membrane contact (less than 24 hours). Whether for direct patient care or educational modeling, this material adheres to strict ISO 13485 standards.

Applications and Workflow

Efficient Workflows

Directly 3D printing with Formlabs BioMed Flex 80A Resin significantly reduces lead times by eliminating molding steps. It is the optimal solution for creating patient-specific medical devices and firm tissue models that surgeons can rely on. Common applications include flexible biocompatible components, devices for mucosal contact, and surgical planning aids.

Optimized Processing

To achieve the best results, it is crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines. This resin is compatible with Form 3B, Form 3BL, and Form 4 series printers. Users must ensure they use the correct resin tank version to avoid equipment damage. Post-processing is vital for biocompatibility; parts should be washed in 99% IPA and, uniquely, must be submerged in water during the post-curing process to ensure the material reaches its full mechanical properties and safety certifications.
