An array of medical-grade TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) from ICP DAS-BMP (Biomedical Polymers) is on view this week at CompaMed 2024 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The Taiwanese manufacturer and supplier is showcasing its latest advancements in TPU materials, particularly highlighting its Engineering Arothane TPU (EARP series). This medical-grade, aromatic polyether-based rigid TPU is noted for its superior processability, high glass transition temperature (Tg), and exceptional light transmission properties. These features make it ideal for use as an auxiliary material in orthodontic treatment and Luer taper.

Also on display is the Arothane ARP-W-G series, which features 40% to 60% Tungsten. This aromatic polyether-based TPU offers superior radiopacity compared to traditional Barium Sulfate—essential for small-dimension or thin-walled medical devices. The ARP-W-G series is also favored for its small pellet size, high fluidity, and excellent dispersion, making it a preferred choice for guidewire coating materials.

Another material being presented at the show is Arothane ARP-B20 (20% Barium Sulfate) and Durathane ALC-B40 (40% Barium Sulfate). Both products have passed rigorous 90-day implantation tests in accordance with ISO 10993-6 standards, ensuring their reliability and safety for medical use.

In response to evolving market needs, ICP DAS-BMP has introduced its new soft ARP series, featuring hardness levels below 70A. This series includes ARP-60A, ARP-63A, and ARP-67A, providing versatile solutions for various medical applications with enhanced flexibility and performance.
