Medical Grade Thermoplastic Elastomer TPE

What is the medical grade thermoplastic elastomer TPE material?

Medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer TPEs are used in medical and biopharmaceutical applications and are transparent elastomers, high-purity compounds with low solvents and extractables to ensure patient safety. Medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer TPEs are seen as an ideal medical-grade alternative to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and silicone rubber because of their flexibility, cleanliness, safety and recyclability. At a lower cost, TPE medical grade thermoplastic elastomers also offer better gas permeability than silicone rubber and flexibility in product design.
