Multi-Layer Tubing
Multi-layer tubes designed to impart specific properties to a device/product that would not be possible using a single material
Introduction
Our multi-layer tubing includes several layers of various materials to optimize performance of the intended application. TekniPlex Healthcare specializes in solutions for sensitive drug transfer. Our application areas of expertise include chemotherapy drug transfer, insulin infusion therapy, cell and gene therapy, and enteral feeding applications.
TekniPlex Healthcare’s multi-layer tubing is available in a variety of material constructions and can utilize various materials, including our PVC and Cellene® TPE Compounds, polyurethane, polypropylene, EVOH, and other high-performance materials. Our multilayer technology allows for tubing configurations with up to five layers. Most of the standard configurations include a bonding or tie layer to mitigate the risk of any delamination during tensile shock. Several of these unique product designs are patented. Our extrusion process has one hundred percent inline inspection of the tubing ID to help ensure the fluid path is occlusion free.
Examples of tube configurations include:
- PVC outer layer construction
- TPE outer layer construction
- PU outer layer construction
- PU outer layer with gas barrier
- Polypropylene-based outer construction
- Custom configurations
