Thermoplastic Elastomer Syringes Only for a Better You

It seems that people have to deal with syringes in their whole life, from a baby waiting to be fed to the final old age, so have you ever encountered the embarrassment of injecting medicine with a syringe? ?Have you ever thought that syringes will become “smart” one day?

Joseph Kutka, global market development manager of PolyOne, said that the award-winning prefilled drug syringe jointly developed by PolyOne and Oxo mainly Made of GLSVersaflexOM1060X-9TPE thermoplastic elastomer. The syringe was specially designed to assist patients with rheumatoid arthritis, taking into consideration the dexterity that patients face when self-administering medication. The syringe is easy for patient self-administration for added patient comfort. In an interview with a reporter from Global Polyurethane Network, Joseph Kutka said that the advantages of the syringe include a non-slip finger grip and an overlapping compression-molded thumb pad, both of which are molded from TPE materials. Versaflex OM1060X-9 is soft to the touch and has good elasticity, making the syringe easy to use. Thanks to the non-slip finger grip, the syringe provides a secure grip, even for patients with severely arthritic hands.

This prefilled drug syringe launched by PolyOne will undoubtedly bring good news to patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, the KraiburgTPE launched The MT series makes minimally invasive techniques more accessible to the people.

KraiburgTPE said in an interview with the Global Polyurethane Network reporter that the company has successfully developed new MT and MT/HD series in recent years, with low friction and multiple hardness options. And the benefits of having multiple certifications, etc. The feature of low friction coefficient makes the MT series also have great application in the minimally invasive medical field that has been widely developed in recent years. In order to avoid hurting the patient, the minimally invasive surgical instruments inserted into the patient are generally covered by a protective sheath made of thermoplastic elastomer. Due to the low coefficient of friction of the ThermolastMT series, it can allow surgical instruments to enter and exit the protective sleeve easily, making it easier for medical staff to change instruments.

Technology makes life better, and products that cannot bring people a better experience will always be water without a source and a tree without roots. The advent of thermoplastic elastomers has made syringes more humane and down-to-earth. Looking forward to the future, we wish that elastomers can bring us more surprises. Of course, this also requires the concerted efforts of colleagues in the industry. The 2016 Elastomer Application Trend Forum to be held in Shenzhen on March 11 this year will mainly focus on wearable devices In the fields of medical, medical and shoe materials, the green channel for registration has been opened, and I look forward to discussing the latest application trends of elastomers with you.
