Antibacterial properties confirmed by two microbiology laboratories in Chile and USA. PLACTIVE™ is a FDA Registered Material and EU compliant (No. 10/2011, No. 1935/2004 and No. 2023/2006). The manufacturer also has certification ISO 9001/2015 and is REACH compliant.

It has thermoforming characteristics that facilitates post-processing and final adjustments of the 3D printed application.

Non-toxic product and environmentally friendly (biodegradable).

Copper 3D PLActive

Clinically tested in prosthesis for amputees with excellent results. Ideal for the manufacture of other medical applications where it’s dangerous to have bacterial contamination, such as postoperative prostheses, wound dressing and surgical equipment.

The Nano-Additive mantains all the mechanical properties of the material.

PLACTIVE is currently being tested by NASA to evaluate its impact on interplanetary microbial contamination.

Why Copper3D?

10% of all worldwide patients admitted in a hospital will acquire at least one healthcare-associated infection (HAI)1
Annually in the US, 2 million of patients gets infected in hospitals2
90.000 of them die2
The estimated cost for the US Healthcare System is up to USD 45 Billion2, 3
50% of HAI’s at worldwide level are attributable to bacterial contamination of Medical Devices4
>40% of Amputees present dermic complication due to High Bacterial Burden of Prosthetics and Orthotics5

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, PLACTIVE™ is a FDA Registered Material and EU compliant (No. 10/2011, No. 1935/2004 and No. 2023/2006). The manufacturer also has certification ISO 9001/2015 and is REACH compliant.

Absolutely. It behaves like a high quality PLA or PETG, with its mechanical properties intact. The only (big) difference is that contains an antibacterial nano-additive that does not alter the base polymer.

ABSOLUTELY YES! This is the magic behind the concept of “Antibacterial 3D Printing”, you can print anything you want with fully antibacterial properties! We call this new kind of objects “AntibiObjects”.

We create this portfolio of materials thinking about people who are developing 3D printed medical devices and other projects where antibacterial properties could play an important role. Although our products are certified and have properties that make them especially suitable for manufacturing medical devices, according to the regulations of each country the medical devices may have to go through an additional certification process.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! This patented and scientifically certified additive, when used at the appropriate concentrations, does not produce any toxic effect in healthy people or patients. You can learn more about the clinical performance of PLACTIVE™ HERE
