Medical Inks

Pad Print USA is the medical device pad printing company that customers have come to trust for high-resolution permanent markings on difficult substrates using USP Class VI medical grade and biocompatible inks. Class VI inks (or alternative inks as specified by our customers) help to ensure strict adherence and control. These Class VI medical-grade inks are widely used on medical devices, including catheters, microcatheters, tubing, trocars, cannulas, heat shrinks, syringes and other surgical instruments, to comply with FDA standards for products that may come into physical contact with the human body.
