The medical industry has some of the most stringent material requirements in the world. Products must be safe, sterile, durable, and highly reliable. While traditional materials have been used for years, they often come with limitations. So, why has Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) emerged as a game-changer for medical and healthcare products?
TPE's unique properties make it an ideal replacement for materials like PVC, silicone, and natural rubber in medical applications.
Biocompatibility: Our medical-grade TPE is non-toxic, latex-free, and phthalate-free, making it safe for contact with skin and fluids. This is critical for applications like tubing, seals, and surgical grips.
Sterilizability: TPE can withstand common sterilization methods, including gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide (EtO), and steam autoclaving. This ensures the material remains sterile and intact after the sterilization process.
Durability and Flexibility: TPE provides the perfect balance of flexibility for items like tubing and seals, while also being durable enough to withstand repeated use and handling in a clinical setting.
Cost-Effective Manufacturing: TPE can be processed using standard thermoplastic molding techniques like injection molding and extrusion, which are faster and more cost-effective than the molding processes for thermoset rubber and silicone. This helps reduce production costs.
By choosing our Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), you are selecting a material that meets the highest standards of safety, performance, and cost-efficiency for the medical industry.
