ProPell™ thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polyether block amide (PEBA) compounds minimize tackiness and friction in soft, flexible polymers, to ensure optimal manufacturing and handling of medical catheters. Using non-migratory additive, compounds do not alter physical properties of unmodified polymers. Parts produced from TPU have coefficient of friction of 0.05, while those made from PEBA have minimal coefficient of friction and retain similar tensile strength and elongation.

ECG System enables real-time catheter tip location.
2013-01-31 14:32:36| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Designed to minimize patients' and clinicians' exposure to X-ray radiation, Nautilus® uses ECG technology to give clinician immediate feedback on catheter tip location, enabling consistently accurate PICC placement both in hospital and, potentially, in community setting. ECG technology minimizes risks associated with blind catheter placement such as thrombus, which can lead to hospital associated infections.
