Key Properties of Medical TPU

Softness and Flexibility

TPU can provide soft touch, flexibility and elastic recovery for tubing, catheters and wearable medical parts.

Mechanical Strength

TPU supports tensile strength, tear resistance and durability in flexible healthcare applications.

Transparency Options

Selected TPU grades can support transparent or translucent medical tubing and fluid transfer components.

Testing Support

Medical applications should be evaluated according to required biocompatibility, sterilization and regulatory testing needs.

Recommended TPU Materials

Polyether TPU

Recommended for flexible medical tubing and applications requiring hydrolysis resistance and softness.
