High Purity TPE Tubing

HeliFlex from Freudenberg Medical is a high purity TPE designed for biopharmaceutical fluid transfer applications.

Freudenberg Medical’s HeliFlex is a high purity thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) tubing that is intended for biopharmaceutical fluid transfer applications. To ensure compatibility with various bioprocessing applications, it can be heat-sealed to allow for easy, fast, and safe fluid transport and transfer.

The tubing is offered with various sterilization options, including autoclave, gamma irradiation, x-ray, and e-beam. It is weldable, sealable, translucent, and can be used in peristaltic pumping applications. Additionally, unlike silicone, which is typically used for single-use fluid transfer applications, TPE is recyclable.
