Deep Application of Biological Compatibility TPU in the Medical Industry

Table of Content [Hide]

    Biological compatibility TPU, as a high-performance elastomer material, demonstrates a wide range of application prospects in the medical industry due to its excellent biocompatibility, mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and good processing performance.


    Biological Compatibility TPU and Medical Catheters


    TPU is considered the preferred material for manufacturing medical catheters due to its outstanding biocompatibility. From infusion tubes, urinary tubes to breathing tubes and cardiac catheters, the flexibility and elasticity of biological compatibility TPU make these catheters easy to insert and remove, while avoiding damage to internal tissues. For example, gastroscope tubes made of biological compatibility TPU ensure the smooth progress of examinations with their high strength and flexibility. They are non-toxic and harmless, fully meeting the high performance requirements of fiber gastroscopes. Additionally, biological compatibility TPU tracheal intubation, due to its lightweight and flexible characteristics, not only enhances patient comfort but also effectively resists radiation damage, making it an indispensable advanced equipment in modern medicine.


    Implants and Artificial Organs


    In the field of implants and artificial organs, biological compatibility TPU also demonstrates excellent performance. As the preferred material for preparing artificial blood vessels, biological compatibility TPU not only boasts excellent blood compatibility and durability but also significantly reduces immune response and thrombosis risks upon contact with blood, ensuring long-term stability and functionality of vascular structures. Furthermore, biological compatibility TPU is widely applied in the manufacture of components for cardiac assist devices, such as the casing and internal seals of heart pumps. These components need to withstand intense blood flow impacts and the long-term effects of patients' daily activities. With its high strength, wear resistance, and exceptional elasticity, biological compatibility TPU ensures the stability and sealability of these components, thus guaranteeing the overall safety and reliability of the cardiac assist devices.


    Medical Films and Protective Equipment


    In the medical protection field, traditional PE and PVC films are commonly used but have issues such as poor breathability and potential user discomfort. In contrast, biological compatibility TPU medical films, known for being soft, comfortable, skin-friendly, highly elastic, excellent in moisture permeability, and outstanding in waterproof properties, show significant advantages in applications like wound dressings, surgical protection films, and protective gloves.


    Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine


    With the continuous advancements in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, biological compatibility TPU materials, due to their excellent biocompatibility and superior processability, have become one of the key materials in constructing artificial tissues and organs. Researchers are committed to exploring the use of biological compatibility TPU materials to build tissue engineering products such as blood vessels and cartilage, aiming to achieve tissue repair and regeneration. Moreover, biological compatibility TPU foam materials, due to their excellent breathability and skin growth-promoting properties, are widely applied in artificial skin and wound dressings. They effectively accelerate epithelial growth, prevent the loss of moisture and inorganic salts at wound sites, and reduce the risk of bacterial infection.
