Combining the performance of thermoset rubber with the processing ease of a thermoplastic, Medalist® TPEs are suitable alternatives to a wide variety of medical-grade materials including flexible PVC and latex rubber. Made with clean, FDA-approved ingredients, Medalist® TPEs are DEHP and phthalate-free, and unlike rubber, do not require the use of curing agents, thus eliminating concerns of high levels of extractables or leachables. Medalist® TPEs exhibit excellent flexibility and elastic recovery, and they provide a soft, pliable feel for easy manipulation in blow molded applications such as resuscitation bags, bladders, balloons, and cuffs.
