KRAIBURG TPE THERMOLAST® H TPE for medical valve applications can be sterilised in an autoclave at 121°C or by EtO.

Medical valves control or deliver fluids (liquids and gases) and are essential in operating rooms, intensive care units, outpatient facilities, laboratories, and even homecare settings. With advances in patient disease care and management technology, it is difficult to imagine surgical devices, patient monitors, and other critical medical equipment functioning without valves. Isolation valves, general service valves and other types of valves are some of the examples available in the medical market. These valves are designed to regulate and deliver low volumes of internal fluids.

 

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have been a material choice in the design of medical valves due to the flexibility and durable characteristics of the compounds. Medical valves are available in different sizes and shapes and the flexibility of TPEs enable the compounds to fulfill the requirements of medical device manufacturers.
