Abstract:
A polymer blend for fabricating medical products having a first 1,2 polybutadiene present from about 1% to about 99% by weight of the blend and having a first melting point temperature; and a second 1,2 polybutadiene present from about 1% to about 99% by weight of the blend and having a second melting point temperature higher than the first melting point temperature.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a polymer composition having a first component obtained by copolymerizing a norbornene monomer and an ethylene monomer, the first component being in an amount from about 1-99 % by weight of the composition; and a second component of an ethylene and alpha -olefin copolymer, the alpha -olefin having 6 carbons, the second component being in an amount from about 99 % to about 1 % by weight of the composition.

Abstract:
A polymer blend for fabricating medical products such as a tubing for an infusion pump are disclosed, wherein the polymer blend comprises: a first 1,2 polybutadiene present from about 1% to about 99% by weight of the blend and having a first melting point temperature; and a second 1,2 polybutadiene present from about 1% to about 99% by weight of the blend and having a second melting point temperature higher than the first melting point temperature and not greater than 120 Deg C. The medical devices or products made from these polybutadiene polymer blends may be sterilized by exposing the medical devices to a sterilizing radiation from about 15kGys to about 45kGys.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for fabricating flexible medical tubings comprising the steps of providing a tubing of a polymer material, the tubing having a longitudinal axis and an initial diameter, orienting the tubing along the longitudinal axis of the tubing to reduce the diameter of the tubing to define a oriented diameter, and applying heat to the oriented tubing to heat set the tubing to maintain dimensional stability of the tubing over a temperature to which the tubing will normally be exposed.
