Tekni-Plex (Wayne, Pa.) announced the formation of the Tekni-Plex Medical business unit, which will supply medical components, materials and solutions to medical device manufacturers worldwide.
The new operating unit will offer products and services formerly supplied separately by its Tekni-Plex’s Colorite, Natvar and Dunn businesses. Manufacturing will continue in the same locations, with the ability to run the same material specifications on the same equipment. Going forward, the Colorite, Natvar and Dunn names will be used as product brands.
The Colorite brand includes advanced medical-grade compounds, including some made of medical-grade PVC and TPE. The Natvar brand includes multilayer and multi-lumen tubing with options for tapered, striped, thermoformed and special-profile products. These extruded tubes are used in applications including intravenous therapy, dialysis, respiratory, and surgical equipment. The Dunn brand features precision extruded tubing for endovascular catheters and minimally invasive devices, as well as custom thermoplastic medical tubing for diagnostic and interventional devices.
“Our goal is to be a trusted advisor, helping our customers make the best decisions on their most important business issues through deep engagement, expertise, innovation and quality,” said Tekni-Plex president & CEO Paul Young in a news release. “Our globally integrated operations will help us provide better and faster solutions to meet customer needs.”
