  • Title: Thermoplastic elastomers in medical applications.
    Author: Radley H.
    Journal: Med Device Technol; 2003 May; 14(4):38-40. PubMed ID: 12774579.
    Abstract:
    TPEs provide medical designers with a broad spectrum of soft-feel, hygienic materials that can readily fulfill accepted medical industry standards with the exception of body implants. Ultimate performance is a combination of tailor-made formulations coupled with innovative design that captures the capability of the material's properties and thermoplastic processing techniques, including combination with other polymers by coinjection moulding or coextrusion.
