Elastomers are advanced polymers which possess both elastic and viscous properties. Due to the features of these materials, which include biocompatibility and flexibility and durability, they are widely used in the medical field. They are often found in a range of medical devices and applications, including, syringes, tubes, implants, and drug delivery devices. Medical elastomers may be placed in two categories: thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and thermoset elastomers. TPEs are considered highly important in fabricating complex parts of medical devices due to their flexibility which reduces the operation cost for production.
