ICP DAS-BMP (Biomedical Polymers) is familiarizing CompaMed visitors this week (Nov. 17-20, Düsseldorf, Germany) with two new medical-grade TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) products. The TPU solutions aim to address critical needs in medical device manufacturing—the Low-Migration Series and the Low-Friction Series.

The low-migration Arothane ARP-B20 TPU is ISO 10993 compliant and suitable for implantation up to 90 days. It minimizes additive migration during processing, helping catheters retain smooth surfaces throughout their shelf life, while offering 15 color options for flexible and customized design.

Another key focus at the foour-day show is the newly introduced Low-Friction Series, which is engineered with an inherently smooth surface that eliminates the need for additional coatings or post-processing treatments. Composed entirely of TPU and free from PFAS or plasticizers, this series delivers reliable long-term stability without surface exudation or additive migration, according to the company. Its low-friction properties make it particularly well-suited for applications requiring smooth insertion such as nasogastric tubes with guidewires, while also ensuring safety and performance during storage and use.

In addition, ICP DAS-BMP is showcasing its TPU portfolio covering varied medical needs. The ARP, ALP, and ALC series serve most body-contact devices, with ARP-B20 and ALC-B40 qualified for 90-day implantation. For radiopaque applications, the ARP-W and ARP-WG series use 40% to 60% tungsten to enhance visibility in guidewires and thin-walled devices. The Engineering Arothane EARP series, known for clarity and strength, is ideal for orthodontics, Luer-Lock connectors, and other precision devices.

The ICP DAS-BMP team is exhibiting in Hall 8b, Booth C09-4.
