Formlabs BioMed Elastic 50A Resin, 5L

Unlock the potential of advanced medical manufacturing with the Formlabs BioMed Elastic 50A Resin, 5L. Designed for high-volume production, this material allows healthcare professionals and engineers to create soft, biocompatible parts that prioritize patient comfort. Whether you are fabricating long-term wearable devices or realistic anatomical models for surgical preparation, this elastomeric resin delivers exceptional performance. Manufactured in an FDA-registered facility, it meets strict safety standards, ensuring reliability for critical medical applications while offering the transparency needed for complex visual analysis.

Advanced Features of Formlabs BioMed Elastic 50A Resin

Superior Comfort and Realism

This material stands out for its ability to produce mass-personalized parts that are not only functional but also incredibly comfortable for the patient. With a Shore 50A hardness, the Formlabs BioMed Elastic 50A Resin, 5L mimics the feel of soft biological tissues. This makes it an ideal solution for printing full-size organ models, such as hearts or gastrointestinal tracts, providing surgeons with accurate tactile feedback and biomechanical behaviors before they ever enter the operating room.

Transparency and Biocompatibility

Beyond its mechanical properties, this resin offers optical clarity, allowing for the visualization of internal structures and fluid flows within printed parts. Safety is paramount; therefore, the material is produced under a rigorous ISO 13485 Quality Management System. It carries USP Class VI certification and is approved for long-term skin contact (over 30 days) and short-term mucosal membrane contact (under 24 hours), giving you absolute confidence in every print suitable for direct patient interaction.

Workflow and Production Requirements

Efficient Printing Process

Using the Formlabs BioMed Elastic 50A Resin, 5L container significantly reduces downtime for high-throughput environments, though it is important to note that a Resin Pump is required for operation with this volume size. The material prints at 100 microns, ensuring fine detail retention. By 3D printing directly, you can eliminate costly and time-consuming molding processes, accelerating the delivery of patient-specific devices and soft tissue models.

Post-Processing for Safety

To achieve full biocompatibility and optimal mechanical properties, strict adherence to post-processing guidelines is necessary. Parts must be washed in 99% IPA to remove uncured resin thoroughly. Crucially, post-curing requires the parts to be fully submerged in water (in a glass container of at least 500mL) to prevent air inhibition on the surface. Following the official manufacturing guide ensures the parts meet regulatory safety standards and achieve the desired transparency.
