For many years, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) has been widely used in medical tubing and devices, offering flexibility, reliability, and strength. However, as healthcare providers look to reduce their environmental impact, we have introduced an alternative solution that embraces sustainability without compromising on quality: our brand-new PVC-Free range, made from polyolefin-based Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE).
Our new PVC-free Connecting Tubing is designed to deliver the same level of performance and reliability as traditional options, ensuring it meets the demands of veterinary professionals. Whether it’s used for oxygen delivery, suction, or other essential applications, this tubing offers an eco-friendly alternative without sacrificing quality.
The new TPE material brings several benefits:
- TPE-based products are free from plasticisers, providing confidence for healthcare professionals in delivering high-quality care.
- TPE production and disposal processes are designed to support greener manufacturing practices.
Transitioning to a PVC-free product range is just one part of our larger journey toward sustainability. At Pennine Veterinary, we are actively working to reduce waste in our manufacturing processes and are continually exploring ways to optimise efficiency.
By opting for sustainable products like our PVC-free Connecting Tubing, you can play an active role in reducing the veterinary industry’s environmental impact. Together, we can make a difference—not only for the animals we care for but also for the planet we all share.
