Transparent ABS Resin

Toray was the ﬁrst, and is the world's largest manufacturer of transparent ABS. Toray's proprietary Toyolac® compound is a unique, transparent ABS with superior injection molding and machining qualities made speciﬁcally for the medical market. Toray ABS is ideal for both long-term products and single-use products, especially for use in Covid-19 related treatment.

Toyolac® is a popular thermoplastic due to its low cost, superior hardness, toughness and resistance properties. These properties have found application in thousands of products worldwide.

Toyolac® is a FDA Drug Master File registered material that is USP Class 6 tested and meets ISO 10993 for biocompatibility. Speciﬁc tests include -4 for blood interactions, -5 for in vitro cytoxicity, -10 for irritation & skin sensitization and -11 for systemic cytotoxicity.

Toyolac® has been found to be a very cost effective replacement for many medical applications requiring clear plastic. Applications include housings, infusion sets, dialyzer cartridges and other drug and blood contact devices where a low cost high strength replacement for clear polycarbonate is desired.

Biocompatible, Bisphenol-A Free
Sterilizable Superior Scratch Resistance, Structural Strength and Stiffness
Robust Chemical Resistance for lipids, alcohol and cleaning agents
Excellent High and Low Temperature Performance
Easy to Machine, Glue and Print. Excellent Solvent Adhesive Properties
Single-use Covid-19 components and products

Polymer Optical Fiber

Toray RAYTELA™ provides 1.8 times larger lighted area as compared to other, same sized optic fibers. Requires less intensity at the light source. Ideal for disposable, single-use devices for bronchoscopy on COVID-19 patients, and reusable devices for Endoscopy, Ureteroscopy, and Ophthalmic applications.

Endoscopy, ureteroscopy, ophthalmic surgery and other procedures require devices that are smaller and can navigate more difﬁcult paths than ever before. Toray has met the increasingly demanding needs for high quality imaging in the minimally invasive surgical market with the Raytela™ ﬁber optic cable.

Toray's Raytela™ is a very ﬂexible and highly efﬁcient transmitter of high intensity light. Its greater light efﬁciency transmission means that it requires less intensity at the light source. An additional special characteristic is the wider degree of light broadcasting at the distal end. This combination of special capabilities results in signiﬁcantly smaller diameter devices that require fewer light cables.

New devices are being developed to diagnose new disease indications. Many of these devices are required to negotiate signiﬁcantly more tortuous paths than previously capable. In addition to the smaller diameter, the Raytela™ optical ﬁber can negotiate tight 9mm radius bends and bend back upon itself 180° with no diminution in light intensity.

Available in 4 diameters from 250 µm to 1000 µm, Raytela™ is the new standard in optical ﬁbers for medical device illumination.

Micro Fiber Material For Clinical Engineer

Wiping cloth removes 99% Of Nano Sized Contaminants

Toraysee™ Micro-Fiber wiping cloth removes 99% of viruses that are smaller than Covid-19 while removing organic matter and other contaminants. Works for cleaning medical equipment, instruments, workstations, work environments and contact-points in facilities. Can be used either dry or wet with disinfectants. Washable and reusable, TORAYSEE™ has extreme washing durability and chemical resistance to sustain reuse from 60 to over 400 times, depending on use.

Toraysee™ is a patented wiping cloth which cleanly wipes away nano sized contaminants that ordinary fibers/wiping cloths cannot. Toraysee™ is designed with ultra-fine, 2 micron fibers which function as "micro pockets" and are up to ten times denser than ordinary wiping cloths. These microfibers trap and hold the contaminants and prevents reapplying them back onto the cleaned surface.

Toraysee™ for Clinical Engineer (CE) is a patented wiping cloth which cleanly wipes away dirt that ordinary fibers/wiping cloths cannot. Toraysee™ CE is designed with ultra-fine, 2 micron fibers which function as "micro pockets" and are up to ten times denser than ordinary wiping cloths. These microfibers trap and hold the contaminants and prevents reapplying them back onto the cleaned surface.

Toraysee™ CE wiping cloths remove all types of dirt, including oil films, organic matter and contaminants. Toraysee™ wipes clean more thoroughly than other wiping cloths and are ideal for cleaning and removing contaminants from these applications:

Medical equipment
Instrument maintenance
Medical apparatus
Medical workstations
Eye examination equipment
Removes 99% Of Nano Sized Contaminants

Toraysee™ CE wipes can be used wet or dry, according to requirements and can be washed and reused. Additionally, wipes may be used with a wide range of disinfectants when necessary. Toraysee™ CE wipes (10" x 10") are packaged 100 to a carton containing instructions and precautions to follow prior to use.

Micro Fiber Material For Endoscope

Toraysee™ For Endoscope (ES) is a patented, sterilized wiping cloth only for use with medical optical lenses. Ultra-fine, 2 micron fibers made by Toray's technology removes 99% of viruses that are smaller than Covid-19 while removing organic matter and other contaminants. "Micro pockets" sequentially take in dirt to ensure excellent wiping performance.

Benefits of Toraysee™ include:

Simplifying the process of lens cleaning
Reduce staff cleaning time
Expedite the scope back to operative field
Contributes to securing visibility
Reducing manipulation time
Can be used in conjunction with anti-fog solution
Radiopaque indicator ring included

Toraysee™ For Endoscope is resistant to fatty dirt and can be used dry or wet as necessary. These are non-reuse wipes and should be discarded after each application. Wipes (10" x 10") are packaged 100 to a carton containing instructions and precautions to follow prior to use.

Highly Breathable Protective Coverall for Contaminated Environments

Toray introduces LIVMOA™ 2000, a highly breathable and moisture venting protective clothing designed to protect workers from hazardous dry contaminants found in Pharmaceutical manufacturing, Healthcare facilities, Maintenance and Cleaning environments and other Hazardous environments. The coverall is constructed from Toraymicron™ a proprietary multilayer structure of non-woven fabric, which provides superior breathability for the head, chest, and back areas, particularly susceptible to heat and humidity.

The unique spunbonded fabric also achieves high-performance adhesion of solid particulates allowing the capture of micro-size contaminants such as dust, waste, and bacteria.
