Chemical characterization of menstrual and intimate care products: An extractables & leachables investigation by Quinten Marcelis, Eric Deconinck, Vera Rogiers, Heidi Demaegdt, Mélanie Di Mario, Tamara Vanhaecke, Bart Desmedt

“…Methods: The aim of this study was to obtain an accurate overview of potential hazardous chemicals (organic and inorganic) that are present in MICPs and to determine the quantities that might leach under typical in-use conditions. Hereto, we developed a workflow analogous to the biological evaluation of medical devices (ISO-10993), encompassing three steps: (1) Conducting extraction experiments under exaggerated conditions and developing analytical methods to identify all chemical constituents (extractables); (2) Prioritizing the extracted chemicals based on available regulatory hazard information, eventually supplemented with in silico toxicological data; (3) Performing migration studies using simulants of vaginal and menstrual fluids, followed by targeted quantification of the prioritized leachable chemicals using newly developed analytical methodologies. …”
