Efficacy and Durability

Respiratory Care & Anesthesiology

For manufacturers specialized in respiratory care and anesthesiology equipment, addressing challenges for efficacy and durability are key drivers of product developments and improvements. 

Advanced polymer technologies are shaping the materials landscape, from CPAP tubing, cuffs, and housings to inhalers and nasal cannulas. Customizable colorants and additives from Avient can help enhance traditional materials for better performance and risk mitigation, while specialty elastomers and thermoplastics offer alternatives to traditional materials, such as silicone or PC/ABS, to meet application-specific or regulatory trends.

Highlights

  • High-clarity TPEs formulated without plasticizers
  • Vibration damping and soft-touch thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) to reduce noise and improve patient comfort
  • Functional additives specially formulated for healthcare applications, including non-phthalate options and those formulated without animal-derived substances
  • Polymer technologies manufactured under controlled conditions and ISO 13485-certified sites to meet strict regulatory requirements
  • Chemically resistant thermoplastics for added protection and extended product life
