TPU hot melt adhesive film in the medical industry applications

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) hot melt adhesive film in the medical industry has a wide range of applications, its unique properties make it an important material in the manufacture of medical equipment and supplies. The following is a detailed introduction to the application of TPU hot melt adhesive film in the medical industry:

First, medical equipment manufacturing

Catheter and tubing

TPU hot melt adhesive film can be made into soft and transparent catheters, such as infusion tubes, burettes, drainage tubes, etc., which are used for infusion, injection and other medical operations. Their high elasticity and coordination ensure smooth running of the tubing and patient safety.

TPU film also has good biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties, making it an ideal material for making medical tubing.

Surgical Supplies

TPU hot melt adhesive film can be used to make surgical gowns, gloves, masks and other medical supplies. Its waterproof performance and flexibility can provide better protection and comfort, and effectively reduce the risk of cross-infection between doctors and patients.

Prostheses and artificial organs

TPU hot melt adhesive film is also used in the manufacture of prosthesis and artificial organs, such as artificial heart valves, artificial joints. Its elasticity and durability can simulate natural tissues and improve the adaptability and service life of prosthesis and artificial organs.

Second, medical packaging and protection

Packaging material

TPU hot melt adhesive film is often used to make packaging materials for surgical instruments, medical instruments, etc. to ensure that these instruments are not damaged during transportation and storage. Its good chemical resistance and tear strength make it an ideal packaging material.

Protective Products

TPU hot melt adhesive films can also be used to make personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gowns and gloves to provide additional protection for healthcare workers. These protective products in the prevention of cross-infection, to protect the safety of health care workers play an important role.

Third, medical dressings and auxiliary supplies

Medical dressings

TPU hot melt adhesive film has good air permeability and waterproof performance, can be used for a variety of medical dressings, such as wound patches, transparent dressings. Its flexibility and stretchability also makes the dressing fit better and can better protect the wound.

Tourniquets and bandages

TPU hot melt adhesive film can also be used to make tourniquets, bandages and other medical supplies to support patient treatment and rehabilitation.

Medical Aids

TPU hot melt adhesive films are also widely used in medical aids, such as catheter clamps, fixators and other small aids, which help healthcare workers to perform medical operations more conveniently.

TPU hot melt adhesive film vs anaerobic adhesive: "Scene flexibility" difference in automotive interior bonding
2025-09-11
​From the perspective of curing conditions, TPU hot melt adhesive film does not need to rely on special environments, while anaerobic adhesives are severely restricted by "auerobicity". The curing principle of anaerobic glue is to undergo polymerization under conditions of lack of oxygen and catalyzed by metal ions (such as iron and copper). If it is in an environment where air circulation or metal substrates are not available, the curing speed will be greatly slowed down or even unable to cure. In automotive interiors, most bonding scenarios are "open" (such as bonding the door panel skin to PP substrate, and the ceiling fabric to the sponge), the air can freely contact the bonding surface, and the substrate is mostly non-metallic (PP, ABS, fabric, etc.), lacking metal ion catalysis, and additional catalyst is required when using anaerobic glue, and the curing time is as long as several hours, which is difficult to meet the needs of industrial production. The TPU hot melt adhesive film only needs to be melted by heating (120-160℃) and can be cured after pressurization and cooling. It does not need to rely on the ambient oxygen concentration or the base material. It can be cured stably in open or closed bonding scenarios, and the curing time only takes a few dozen seconds to a few minutes, adapting to the fast-paced needs of the interior production line.
