Thermoplastic Elastomer Tubing Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) is a soft and flexible polymer with excellent physical properties, making it a good alternative for many latex or silicone tubing applications. FDA, NSF and USP Class VI material compounds are available for medical and food/beverage applications.

Rubber Latex Tubing Applications include medical, dental, exercise, therapy, food, and beverage. Where latex products are not recommended or are prohibited, they offer a complete line of non-latex tubing manufactured from TPE, which closely simulates natural rubber latex properties.

PVC Tubing PVC medical grade formulations range in durometers from 40 to 90 to meet a variety of medical or food grade applications. Kent PVC tubing meets FDA and U.S.P. Class VI requirements. It is non-toxic and inert, has superb clarity, and possesses good flame, tear and electrical resistance properties.

Free-Band® Tourniquets Free-Band® latex-free surgical tourniquet bands are manufactured from a proprietary blend of materials specifically chosen to provide physical properties that closely resemble those of latex without the concerns of latex sensitivity.

By specializing in small to medium run batches of dip molded applications, they offer customers the ultimate flexibility when it comes to a wide choice in shapes, sizes, wall thicknesses, and colors of both latex and non-latex compounds.
