This Class I medical device (*) is marketed by a medical technology company and is free from di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate DEHP.
Why is this important?
DEHP is a plasticizer that can be released from certain plastics and is suspected of having endocrine-disrupting effects and of placing an additional burden on the body.
In patients with cancer, whose bodies are often already under significant strain, the material composition of medical devices can influence safety, tolerability, and long-term exposure.
For this reason, it is advisable to consider the composition of the medical device and to discuss this information together with the treating oncologist as part of treatment decision-making.
