MEVOPUR masterbatches and compounds by Clariant provide catheter manufacturers with options for improving the functionality, visualization, and performance of their devices while meeting United States and European regulations.

The compounds are available as single or combination of additives using polymer specific carriers in a range of medically approved plastics, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polyether block amide (PBA), and polyamide 11, 12. This overcomes the challenge of using different polymers to achieve a balance of softness and flexibility in one place and rigidity elsewhere in multilayer thin-wall extrusions.
