Thermoplastics are polymers that can be repeatedly melted, shaped, formed, and then cooled back into solids. Thermoplastic tubing plays an essential role in medical device applications, offering flexibility, transparency, and ease of bonding and/or welding. Saint-Gobain has expertise in processing an extensive library of thermoplastic materials including PVC, TPO, TPU, TPE, PP, PC, PEBA, PEEK, and more. At Saint-Gobain, our flagship thermoplastic tubing for medical applications is the Tygon® ND-100 series. This formulation is offered in a range of durometers, from 40 to 80 shore A.
Features & Benefits of Thermoplastic Tubing for Medical Device Components
Biocompatibility: The biocompatibility characteristics of many of our thermoplastic (TP) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulations have been evaluated, such as USP Class VI and various aspects of ISO 10993. We understand that biocompatibility testing requirements are unique to each application. Collaborate with us to develop the necessary test support plan for your application.
Flexibility and Elasticity: TP and TPE tubing exhibit excellent flexibility and elasticity, allowing the tubing to bend, twist, and conform to complex shapes without kinking. These properties are beneficial for peristaltic pumps, diagnostic equipment, organ preservation devices, and other dynamic medical equipment.
Clarity: TP and TPE tubing provide good clarity, allowing visual inspection of fluid flow. Transparent tubing is advantageous for monitoring the flow of blood, medications, and other fluids.
Ease of Sterilization: TP and TPE tubing can typically be sterilized using autoclave, ethylene oxide gas, and gamma irradiation, helping to ensure the safety and sterilization of the medical devices into which they are assembled.
Chemical Resistance: TP and TPE tubing materials are known to demonstrate good chemical resistance, which can make them well-suited for diagnostic equipment and reagent manufacturing.
Thermoplastic tubing from Saint-Gobain provides flexibility, clarity, ease of sterilization, and regulatory support testing, making it an excellent choice for medical applications.
