Next-level performance in medical tubing with Thermolast H

Safe, smart, and sustainable material solution

June 13, 2025

Advancements in medical technology are setting high standards for medical tubing, requiring greater efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. These drive increased reliance on thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for medical applications.

Kraiburg TPE, a global manufacturer in TPE solutions, has introduced the new Thermolast H compounds designed to meet the strict requirements of medical tubing. With flexibility, kink resistance, chemical compatibility, colorability, and other specialized benefits, Thermolast H TPEs deliver a safe, smart, and sustainable material solution for a wide range of medical and healthcare applications. Ideal for the development of next-generation IV lines, external catheters, and customized tubing such as peristaltic, drainage, short-term use feeding tubes, and more.

Clear advantage for vital care Thermolast H is available in transparent colors—ideal for medical tubing and devices where visibility enhances safety and precision. It supports accurate treatment delivery, real-time fluid monitoring, and quick blockage detection during critical procedures.

Effortless handling in every procedure Thermolast H improves the flexibility and control of medical tubing for reliable performance. Its soft-touch feel and excellent kink resistance boost usability and fluid flow, enabling medical professionals work efficiently and accurately in high-pressure settings.

Durability through sterilization cycles Thermolast H withstands common sterilization methods, including autoclaving at 121°C and ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization, maintaining the medical tubing’s structural integrity and consistent functionality even after multiple cycles.

Safety-compliant material solution Thermolast H is free of PVC, silicone, and latex, providing a hypoallergenic option that reduces allergic risks for patients and healthcare workers. It complies with Cytotoxicity ISO 10993-5, GB/T 16886.5 and medical standards, making it a safe choice for medical applications.

Optimized manufacturing for consistent quality Thermolast H is optimized for extrusion and injection molding, offering manufacturers flexibility to produce high-quality medical tubing. Whether for high-volume production or precision-molded components, it ensures consistent outcomes and cost-effective processes, maintaining top-tier quality.
