Medical Balloon Tubing

Medical Balloon Tubing: A Vital Component of Medical Devices

Medical balloon tubing is a specialized type of tubing that is used in a wide range of medical devices. It is typically made from a flexible, elastic material, such as TPE’s like Pebax®, Urethane’s, Nylon’s, or even latex and silicone, and is designed to be inflated with a gas or liquid to expand or contract.

Key Characteristics:

• Flexibility: Medical balloon tubing must be flexible to allow for easy manipulation and insertion into the body.
• Elasticity: It should be elastic to allow for expansion and contraction when inflated or deflated.
• Biocompatibility: The material used must be biocompatible, meaning it is safe for use in the human body and does not cause adverse reactions.
• Strength: The tubing must be strong enough to withstand the pressure of the inflated balloon without bursting.
• Sterility: It must be sterile to prevent infection.

The professionals at Renegade understand, for any polymer to successfully produce consistent balloons, it must start with a “simple” extruded tube. One that meets the stringent demands of precision, highly concentric, and consistent elongation requirements.
