2014-3-13 · DEHP in PVC applications used in medical devices. This evaluation was based on technical aspects. In 2010 the Danish EPA evaluated alternatives to phthalates in terms of toxicological and ecotoxicological effects but a number of data gaps was identified.
Di-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) is the most widely used plasticizer in PVC medical devices. However DEHP is not chemically bound to PVC and migrates from medical devices with time and use. The potential for DEHP to produce adverse effects in humans has been the subject of considerable discussion and debate in the scientific community.
