Demand of plastic products for medical use exceeds supply

With the development of Chinese medical care plastic industry, plastic is widely used for medical facilities. Hence plastic medical products need to be further developed. Plastic products for medical use fall into two catalogues-plastic human organs and plastic medical instrument. In recent years, these kinds of products have rapid growth and are widely used and have great consumption. China has been studying and producing plastic products for medical use for more than 30 years, but these products with only a few varieties are not very popular and not widely used. Most plastic human organs are imported. It's highly necessary to develop plastic human organs such as artificial kidneys, lungs, livers, heart valves, bladders, blood vessels and esophagus etc. People would pay more and more attention to the development of plastic medical instrument. By 2000, the annual output will have run up to 100 thousand tons, which still can not meet the growing needs.
