Medical technology - Boss Lubricants

Highest standards
in medical technology

In the medical technology sector, materials and processes must meet the most severe quality and safety requirements. Lubricants play a central role in this - from the functionality of medical devices to the safe manufacture of implants.

Biocompatible & ISO 10993 approved

MDR-compliant (classes I–III)

Free of SVHC / REACH- & RoHS-compliant

Tailor-made solutions

Biocompatibility & non-cytotoxicity

Focus on biocompatibility
& non-cytotoxicity

Cytotoxicity refers to the effect of a substance on living cells. For medical applications, lubricants must be tested in accordance with ISO 10993-5 to ensure they are non-cytotoxic.

Even minimal residues can lead to complications or implant rejection.

Standardized testing methods (ISO 10993 series)
Regular independent inspections
Safety in invasive and non-invasive applications
Risk minimization in production
