“Traditionally, if a medical device manufacturer wanted to test potential solutions for a given application, suppliers would require a minimum run purchase which could cost more than one thousand dollars per SKU and take several weeks to deliver,” said Meg Henke, global head of product marketing, TekniPlex Medical. “In today’s fast-moving marketplace where device manufacturers constantly race against the clock to deliver new technologies, reducing commercialization timelines is critical. Our goal was to provide a way to help make that happen.”
Design engineers can now select from a wide variety of tubing products that are in stock and can ship within one business day. Most of TekniPlex Medical’s tubing offerings on the Chamfr site cost less than $100 per item so design engineers have more flexibility to trial different tubing options for their unique application.
TekniPlex tubing is available in a wide range of durometers and performance characteristics. In addition to PVC options, TekniPlex will be offering multilayer and high-performance pump tubing, as well as chemically-resistant structures, through Chamfr. Tubing production is vertically integrated with PVC and TPE compounds manufactured at other TekniPlex Medical facilities.
