Intelligent Flexible Solutions

ELASTO engineer intelligent flexible solutions that bridge the gap between rubber and plastics.

Our Mediprene thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) offer many advantages for the medical device manufacturer. They are sterilizable with gamma, EtO and steam and representative grades have passed cytotoxicity tests according to ISO 10993-5 and biocompatibility tests according to USP Class VI. Mediprene TPEs have also proven to be strong alternatives as replacement for PVC; they are completely synthetic and latex free thereby minimizing allergy risks.

They are available in a range of hardnesses, from a gel-soft zero shore A material through to 62 Shore D. For overmoulding applications, Mediprene offers grades with excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates including PP, PE, ABS, PC, PETG and SMMA. The Mediprene range also includes oil free compounds which were developed to address demands for transparent medical TPE grades with a minimum of potential extractables and leaching.
