Advancements in medical technology are setting high standards for medical tubing, requiring greater efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. These drive increased reliance on thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for medical applications.
KRAIBURG TPE, a global manufacturer in TPE solutions, introduces the new THERMOLAST® H compounds designed to meet the strict requirements of medical tubing. With flexibility, kink resistance, chemical compatibility, colorability, and other specialized benefits, THERMOLAST® H TPEs deliver a safe, smart, and sustainable material solution for a wide range of medical and healthcare applications. Ideal for the development of next-generation IV lines, external catheters, and customized tubing such as peristaltic, drainage, short-term use feeding tubes, and more.
Clear advantage for vital care
THERMOLAST® H is available in transparent colors ideal for medical tubing and devices where visibility enhances safety and precision. It supports accurate treatment delivery, real-time fluid monitoring, and quick blockage detection during critical procedures.
Effortless handling in every procedure
THERMOLAST® H improves the flexibility and control of medical tubing for reliable performance. Its soft-touch feel and excellent kink resistance boost usability and fluid flow, enabling medical professionals work efficiently and accurately in high-pressure settings.
Durability through sterilization cycles
