Manufacturing safe, sustainable products for the benefit of everyone.
Hospitals and health organizations, medical professionals and patients, even animals and the environment — we make it our purpose to protect them all with PVC and DEHP-free devices.
How do you benefit of PVC and DEHP Free Medical Devices?
WilMarc specializes in providing PVC-free medical devices that can help eliminate toxins and other safety hazards that could affect healthcare professionals, patients, and the environment. Plasticizers used often with PVC are called phthalates and these phthalates have been documented to be a health concern with PVC-based devices. DEHP or Di (2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalates are not chemically bound to PVC and have the ability to leach, migrate or evaporate from devices that have been treated with them. We all benefit from sustainable products and practices.
Medical Devices commonly made with PVC:
- Nasal cannulas
- IV and blood bags
- Infusion administration sets
- Enteral feeding devices
- Tubing
- Catheters
- Breathing circuits

How do you benefit of PVC and DEHP Free Medical Devices?
Organizations like the Hospital 2020 movement and the Healthier Hospitals Initiatives are promoting ways to improve environmental health by accelerating the development and use of environmentally preferable products in hospitals and medical practices.
Hospital’s 2020 movement defines a green hospital as a facility that has taken the initiative to do one of more of the following:
- Choose an environmentally friendly site
- Utilizes sustainable and efficient designs
- Uses green building materials and products
- Thinks green during construction and keeps the greening process going.
