PVC-Free Healthcare Products

Pennine Healthcare has unveiled a new PVC-free product range designed to deliver both high performance and environmental benefits.

The new range includes suction-connecting tubing and other polyolefin-based Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) devices, a material that replaces traditional PVC. Using TPE, the products are more environmentally friendly and produced with 100% renewable energy, significantly lowering their carbon footprint.

Beyond sustainability, the PVC-free tubing offers enhanced functionality, boasting improved kink resistance, flexibility, and clarity. These features ensure smooth suction performance, easier fluid monitoring, and better handling in clinical environments.

“By combining innovation, patient safety, and environmental responsibility, we believe we are taking a crucial step towards a greener and more sustainable healthcare future for all," the brand said in a statement.
