Why use TPU?

With its excellent mechanical, puncture and abrasion properties, TPU is an ideal material for use in many medical device applications. Design engineers are increasingly choosing TPU for medical applications, thanks to the material’s desirable chemical properties, excellent mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility.

Key Products

  • Knee Implants

  • Hip Implants

  • Tip Protectors

  • Spinal Implants

  • Osteotome Blades

Processing Flexibility

While there are many grades of TPU to choose from, processing flexibility is a consistent feature of TPU regardless of which chemistry is selected. This provides medical device design engineers with numerous packaging alternatives as the TPU can be injection-moulded, thermoformed, die-cut, and welded into multiple shapes and sizes. The AQF Medical engineering team are available to assist customers with material selection and product packaging design .
