Tecoflex® is a family of medical-grade aliphatic polyether polyurethanes. They do not yellow and are available over a wide range of durometers, colors and radiopacifiers, including barium sulfate, bismuth salts and tungsten. The low durometer grades in particular may not be suitable for long-term implant applications because of the potential for stress cracking.
