In this industry, every product choice affects not only patient outcomes but also the environment. Therefore, we are excited to announce our brand-new PVC-free medical device range, featuring innovative, polyolefin-based Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) products. Our commitment to advancing sustainable healthcare solutions drives our decision to adopt TPE, which can offer significant clinical and environmental benefits. First in our new range includes Non-Sterile and Sterile Suction Connecting Tubing.
Our polyolefin-based TPE compound is an ideal PVC alternative due to its robust physical properties and low CO2 impact. Made in Europe with 100% renewable wind energy, this compound is produced sustainably, with all waste being recycled. It’s durability and flexibility ensure excellent kink resistance and low friction for smooth fluid movement, whilst offering exceptional transparency for fluid flow monitoring. These features make it a highly effective choice for medical devices, and is why we have opted for TPE as our PVC-alternative for Suction Connection Tubing.
Our PVC-Free tubing has been rigorously tested to meet clinical demands across a range of procedures. We offer our single use, suction connecting tubing to connect suction sources to suction waste collection systems, suction catheters, yankauers, suction probes and other suction devices.

Introducing PVC-Free products can significantly help hospitals and trusts meet their NHS Net Zero commitments. By aligning product choices with green procurement policies, healthcare providers can make meaningful strides toward reducing their carbon footprint.
The transition to PVC-Free medical devices isn’t just a trend, it’s a necessary step for the transition to more sustainable healthcare. Pennine is proud to support this shift with innovative solutions that protect both patients and the planet.
