Wayne, Pa. (September 28, 2018) — Natvar, a Tekni-Plex business, will exhibit its latest medical tubing innovations at Life Sciences Forum, October 15-16, Costa Rica Convention Center, San Jose, Costa Rica, Booth S44.
Natvar is recognized as a leader in traditional PVC tubing solutions including multilayer combinations featuring polyethylene and EVA, as well as anti-kinking options. Its recently-launched microextrusion tubing solutions will also be featured at Life Sciences Forum.
Microextrusion tubing has been developed in recent years to service a wide variety of demanding neurovascular interventional therapies and surgical applications. Natvar’s microextrusion medical tubing can be made from cost-effective thermoplastics and other highly-engineered materials. Because it can consistently hold tight tolerances, it is an ideal alternative to more expensive materials such as glass and fluoropolymers.
Natvar’s technical expertise enables it to microextrude monolayer, coextruded, multi-lumen tubing or profiles in a variety of thermoplastic (PVC, urethanes, TPEs) materials and wall thicknesses ranging from .003 to .005 inches. It can be coextruded in up to four layers.
