| Material | Key Advantages | Key Disadvantages | Application Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modified PVC | Extremely low cost, high transparency, adjustable flexibility, excellent processability, weldable | Environmental and health concerns (plasticizer migration risk), adsorbs certain drugs, produces dioxins when incinerated | The absolute mainstream, dominating the market |
| TPE/TPR (Thermoplastic Elastomer) | Inherently flexible without plasticizers, better biocompatibility, more eco-friendly, good chemical resistance | High cost (2-5x more expensive than PVC), transparency can be inferior to PVC, slightly more difficult to process | Mid-to-high-end market, used for sensitive fluids (e.g., lipid emulsions), high-end medical settings |
| Silicone Rubber | Excellent biocompatibility, extremely soft,withstands repeated sterilization), chemically inert | Very high cost, low mechanical strength (easily kinked/clamped), high gas permeability (unsuitable for long-term infusions), difficult to bond/seal | Primarily for long-term implantable catheters, precision drug delivery (e.g., chemotherapy pumps), not for standard infusion sets |
| Polyolefin Elastomer (POE/POP) | No plasticizers needed, high purity, low drug adsorption, low leachables, eco-friendly | High cost, material can be somewhat slippery, poorer welding performance | High-end applications, a major candidate for future PVC replacement |
