An MRI is basically a giant magnet with the the ability to attract any metal object within range. Metal objects situated too close to the the MRI machine could become airborne and dangerous if they should fly towards the magnetized unit. Today, all of the equipment that surrounds an MRI is created out of plastic to guard against this. Even tools utilized to install the MRI are fabricated out of plastic.
The incorporation of plastic into modern medicine has steadily increased in the last decade. Plastics have contributed to a reduction in medical costs, infectious disease and pain management. High tech polymers are used to create new and improved artificial limbs and plastic disposable delivery devices have succeeded in reducing the risk of infection to patients. Patients directly benefit from the use of plastic with more lives being saved, improved and prolonged due to its use.
