Report Overview

Medical polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer (TPU) is a versatile polymer material used in the production of various medical devices and healthcare applications. It combines the elasticity of rubber with the durability of plastics, making it an ideal choice for products that require flexibility, strength, and biocompatibility.

Key Characteristics:
Biocompatibility: TPU is safe for use in medical applications and can interact with biological tissues without causing adverse reactions.

Flexibility: It can stretch and bend, returning to its original shape, which is crucial for applications requiring both flexibility and durability.

Durability: TPU is resistant to wear, tear, and abrasion, making it suitable for long-term and high-use medical devices.

Chemical Resistance: It is resistant to chemicals and sterilization processes, ensuring longevity in medical environments.

Transparency: TPU can be transparent, enabling medical professionals to monitor fluids in devices like catheters and tubing.

Sterilizability: It withstands sterilization methods like steam, gamma radiation, and ethylene oxide, which is critical for maintaining hygiene standards.

The global Medical Grade TPU market size is projected to grow from US$ 272 million in 2024 to US$ 402 million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2024 to 2030.
