Abstract
Medical device tubing is prepared from a blended polymer which is a blend of polyetheramide having substantially no ester linkages together with either or both of a polyamide and a polyesteretheramide having a hardness of at least about Shore 70D. The resulting tubing has an exceptionally high ratio of burst strength to flexibility, and the blended polymer retards blooming of the tubing that is believed to result from migration of monomers to the surface of the tubing.
