KRAIBURG TPE Thermoplastic H TPE enters the field of conduit connector applications

As emergency and surgical procedures increase, so does the demand for catheter connectors
.
In addition, technological advances have made these connectors more and more widely used
.
There are many types of catheter connectors, including needleless venous catheter connectors, suction catheter connectors, and more
.

Compounds for functional properties

Catheter connectors are used to provide infusion and aspiration access
.
They are important device aids for intravenous access and drug delivery, reducing the risk of serious consequences and improving patient compliance
.
 

High-performance materials such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) provide safety and efficiency that benefit medical devices such as catheter connectors
.
 

TPE is ideal for the medical industry primarily because it is halogen- and latex-free and easier to process than other materials
.

Color customization and material safety

KRAIBURG TPE's Thermoplastic H HC/AP series offers high flexibility and strong grip, making it ideal for conduit connector applications
.
In addition, THERMOLAST H-Series has a broad hardness range of Shore A 30-90 and has been optimized for processability
.
TPE compounds are translucent materials that can be dyed in various shades to suit customer needs
.

TPE compounds are also biocompatible and free of animal components and other potentially hazardous substances
.
These materials have also passed cytotoxicity tests, comply with ISO 10993-5 and GB/T 16886.
5 requirements, and are certified to other standards such as China GB 4806–2016, US FDA CFR 21, EU Regulation 10/2011, REACH and RoHS
