PTFE biotech medical applications

Improve the reliability of medical equipment

When people have health problems, medical practitioners need equipment that works effectively. Fluoropolymers are flexible and chemically inert, making them reliable in medical applications that require precise handling and exposure to chemical and biological elements.

The growing geriatric population and increasing prevalence of treatable diseases have led to rapid expansion of the injectables market. Rubber stoppers have excellent elastic properties, such as sealing and temperature resistance. Compared with silicone stoppers and nitrile stoppers, rubber stoppers have more advantages when used on injection drug bottles. To create competitive rubber stoppers, fluoropolymer films can be applied during the production process. To apply the film in existing processes, only minor adjustments to manufacturing parameters are required. The film enhances the barrier properties of the stopper, improves sealing properties, and prevents rubber components from seeping into the drug container. Teflon™ LF films are made from a proprietary blend of fluoropolymers that offer a combination of premium properties that make them ideal for pharmaceutical applications.

Large medical hose

The increase in elective and minimally invasive surgeries and the shift towards the use of disposable materials are driving the medical hose market. With the rapid development of the large disposable hose market, there is also a certain demand for general-purpose resins that can realize a variety of hose structures. As the market expands, manufacturers focus on improving resin performance and ease of processing. Manufacturers want to be able to use the same resin in the production of different large hoses to minimize operational errors and potential quality issues. We offer Teflon™ FEP and PTFE resins suitable for different processing techniques.
