TekniPlex Healthcare, which utilizes advanced materials science expertise to help deliver better patient outcomes, will have its extensive Asia-based manufacturing on full display at Medical Fair Thailand, September 10-12 in Bangkok. At Booth X28, TekniPlex Healthcare subject matter experts will be on hand to discuss the company’s robust range of production capabilities at its plant in Suzhou, China. With more than 240,000 square feet of space, the plant specializes in medical-grade compounds, medical and specialty tubing, and offers flexible packaging and other materials solutions for the healthcare industry.
TekniPlex Healthcare’s Suzhou facility is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified, and features Class 10K and Class 100K cleanrooms. This makes it an ideal environment for producing a broad array of materials science solutions, including extrusion for a variety of tubing products (multi-lumen, multi-layer, paratubing, wire enmeshed, micro-extrusions, etc.); silicone manufacturing via compress molding and extrusion; and catheter solutions including balloon constructions and those for minimally invasive delivery systems. Specific products that TekniPlex Healthcare will display at Medical Fair Thailand include:
Variety of China-made Compounds, Tubing and Sub-assemblies for Asia MedTech Customers
At Medical Fair Thailand, TekniPlex Healthcare will highlight the depth and breadth of its China-based manufacturing capabilities, a portfolio comprising a broad range of medical compounds, tubing and sub-assemblies designed to address the far-ranging needs of Asia’s MedTech companies.
One noteworthy solutions set is TekniPlex Healthcare’s extensive selection of PVC compounds, which stand out for high elasticity, low durometer, minimized friction and exceptional stability. Compatibility with various solvents yields simplified bonding and assembly, and both phthalate-free and non-phthalate options meet varying MedTech needs while ensuring product safety and environmental friendliness.
PTA/PTCA Balloon Catheter Tubing and Precision Tri-Layer Tubing
TekniPlex Healthcare also offers a wide range of PTA/PTCA tubing solutions, backed locally in Asia by precision micro-extrusion capabilities, expert technical support and rapid prototype development. For balloon catheter applications, TekniPlex Healthcare’s prowess includes single-layer, dual-layer and tri-layer constructions. Accommodating balloon sizes from 1-30mm, the tubing solutions offer uniform wall thickness, precise tolerances (±0.0005”), and over 90% concentricity. These features provide controlled elongation, resulting in evenly thickened balloons that reduce the risk of rupture and significantly improve yield rates.
TekniPlex Healthcare’s precision tri-layer tubing consists of polyamide (Nylon) or polyether block amide copolymer (PEBA) outer layers and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) inner layers. The small-diameter, thin-wall constructions are commonly used in interventional vascular devices to help diagnostic and therapeutic devices more easily advance over guidewires.
Diverse Paratubing Solutions for Precision Delivery and Flow Path Distinction
TekniPlex Healthcare also is dedicated to developing custom solutions to unique problems in the medical field. At Medical Fair Thailand, the company will showcase its paratubing, which the company can produce in up to eight custom colors, textures, or striped tube formations to distinguish between flow paths.
“TekniPlex Healthcare’s expanding footprint in China and the Pacific Rim is a key driver of our global MedTech leadership,” said Jessica Chen, Managing Director China, TekniPlex Healthcare. “Our integrated development, manufacturing, supply chain, and service capabilities are designed to help device makers accelerate speed to market, scale production efficiently, and navigate regional complexity with confidence. With China-based production minimizing risk and ensuring rapid delivery across Southeast Asia, we’re enabling our partners to compete more effectively and serve patients better. Medical Fair Thailand is an ideal venue to showcase the strategic advantage we deliver.”
