Polyoxymethylene (POM) or acetal is a form of polymer that is made from formaldehyde-based, semi-crystalline resins with the functional group of carbon bonded to two -OR groups. It is a chemically inert material that is widely used in medical devices due to its biocompatibility, strength, and resistance to chemicals and sterilization methods. Medical polyoxymethylene is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction and excellent dimensional stability. The material is available in homopolymer and copolymer forms and can be used in a wide range of applications.
