Tubing for Hemodialysis Pumps
Materials and design play a critical role in the development of pump segment tubing for hemodialysis pumps
June 5, 2024
Key attributes in design, construction and manufacturing
Pump segment tubing must have superior compression recovery and fatigue resistance characteristics. The PVC compound used for this part of the system is quite complex, and can affect the hardness, extraction characteristics and clarity of hemodialysis tubing. Flexibility, elasticity, and size are all critical to maintaining the proper operating condition of the pump, as well as patient safety. A leader in the field of tubing solutions, TekniPlex Healthcare understands that product criteria specific to individual pump tubing applications is critical in selecting the most suitable PVC resin, plasticizer and minor component package.
