A thermoplastic polyurethane having inherent softness properties is formed from a diisocyanate, a polyetherglycol and a mixture of diol chain extenders. The mixture of chain extenders includes a first diol and a second diol which has side chain branching. A method for making the polyurethane of the present invention includes mixing the components to induce an exothermic reaction, followed by curing. The polyurethane formed is suitable for melt processing into medical devices such as catheters, other tubing, hubs and the like.
