Medical polymers are used for a variety of human contact and non-contact applications in the medical industry.
Lubrizol has the broadest range of medical TPUs. For more information read here: Medical Grade TPU - Lubrizol.
Medical TPU is suitable for various medical applications: cardiology, urology, vascular, implantable devices, orthopedics and wound care.
Santoprene® TPV medical grades from Celanese (read more here: Thermoplastic Vulcanizate Medical Grades) provide superior sealing performance, processing benefits and overall cost savings, compared to thermoset rubbers (TSRs) – like silicone, halobutyl, and EPDM rubber.
Santoprene® TPV medical grades are used for single-use and pre-filled syringes; medical devices and equipment, like wearables and device grips, seals, and other components; peristaltic pump tubes and tubing; electrical cable jacketing, insulation, and connectors, grips and seals, gaskets, and diaphragms, as well as for packaging components, like bumpers, tube gaskets, caps, closures, and stoppers.
Hytrel is a plasticiser-free thermoplastic copolyester elastomer, with outstanding flexibility, strength, heat and chemical stability and it can be used over a wide range of temperatures. Applications include prosthetics, breathable respiratory smoothbore circuits and medical tubing.
Ateva® G Medical EVA is a medical ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) which was developed specifically for medical applications. It is optically transparent, highly flexible and tear and impact resistant. Applications include blood bags, medical film, mouthgards, respiratory tubing, wound care, stem cell storage, connectors, tubes and tie layers.
