Medical TPU punched head printed plastic extrusion tube is a product that combines material science (TPU), basic molding (extrusion) and precision post-processing (punching, head sealing, printing). It is not a single standard part, but a type of functional medical catheter component that has been customized through multiple processes.
Excellent biocompatibility: Medical-grade TPU is non-toxic and non-allergic to human tissue, can safely come into contact with blood and tissue, and complies with medical standards such as ISO 10993.
Excellent mechanical properties: It combines the high elasticity and flexibility of rubber with the high strength and tear resistance of plastic. It can maintain structural integrity during repeated bending and is not easily damaged.
Good processability: supports a variety of molding methods, the hardness range is adjustable, and can go from very soft to hard through formula design to meet different clinical needs
Chemical resistance and hydrolysis resistance: resistant to grease, various chemical reagents and disinfectants, suitable for long-term implantation or contact with body fluids.
The extrusion process is the starting point for manufacturing TPU tubes. After the TPU particles are heated and
melted, they are continuously extruded through a die of a specific shape to form a pipe. This process determines the basic dimensions (inner diameter, outer diameter, wall thickness) and physical properties of the conduit. The extrusion process can produce a variety of basic shapes such as single-lumen tubes, multi-lumen tubes, variable-diameter tubes, and composite tubes with developing lines, providing high-quality tube blanks for subsequent processing.
