Driven by the rapid popularization of minimally invasive intervention treatment and long-term inpatient infusion management, the global PICC catheter market continues to expand steadily in 2026, directly driving the incremental demand for high-purity medical TPU pellet raw materials. More tertiary hospitals and specialized medical institutions are prioritizing high-performance TICC catheters to reduce clinical complications such as venous thrombosis and vascular irritation.
Market research data indicates that the penetration rate of TPU materials in medium and high-end PICC catheter products has reached 65%–75%, becoming the mainstream benchmark material for new-generation indwelling catheters. The core advantage lies in the material's controllable low-friction surface performance. After professional hydrophilic coating treatment, the surface friction coefficient is greatly reduced, which can effectively reduce vascular irritation and improve the smoothness of catheter insertion.
Different from ordinary industrial TPU, PICC special TPU pellets adopt high-purity polyether formula without any recycled materials and filler impurities. The material has excellent low-temperature toughness and stable physical properties, and will not become brittle, yellow or cracked during conventional ethylene oxide sterilization and high-frequency disinfection cycles. This stable sterilization resistance solves the problem of limited service life of traditional medical polymer materials after repeated disinfection.
At present, the medical raw material market is showing obvious structural differentiation. Low-end general materials are facing price competition, while high-standard customized medical TPU pellets are in short supply. Relying on mature medical-grade formula system and stable batch production capacity, we can provide fixed-hardness and customized modified TPU pellets for PICC catheter manufacturers. The products meet the long-term indwelling safety requirements of clinical medical devices, and support customers' medical device registration inspection and stable mass delivery.
