Efficacy and Durability

For manufacturers specialized in respiratory care and anesthesiology equipment, addressing challenges for efficacy and durability are key drivers of product developments and improvements. 

Advanced polymer technologies are shaping the materials landscape, from CPAP tubing, cuffs, and housings to inhalers and nasal cannulas. Customizable colorants and additives from Avient can help enhance traditional materials for better performance and risk mitigation, while specialty elastomers and thermoplastics offer alternatives to traditional materials, such as silicone or PC/ABS, to meet application-specific or regulatory trends.
