The Role of FEP Heat Shrink Tubing in Catheter Assembly
16 April 2026
Catheter assembly involves joining multiple layers and sections into a single device that must perform as a unified structure under mechanical and clinical demands. The inner liner, reinforcement layer, and outer jacket each serve a distinct function, but they must also be bonded together with sufficient integrity to withstand use in the field. In most… Continue reading The Role of FEP Heat Shrink Tubing in Catheter Assembly
Why Multi-Lumen Tubing Is Critical for Complex Medical Devices
15 August 2025
Over the past decade, we’ve watched catheter technology evolve around a simple but powerful idea: why use five devices when one can do the job? Physicians used to require a wide range of different catheters for complex procedures. Now, multi-lumen designs incorporate all those functions into a single device. This evolution has completely transformed minimally… Continue reading Why Multi-Lumen Tubing Is Critical for Complex Medical Devices
The Future of Radiopaque Tubing in Minimally Invasive Devices
5 August 2025
When you’re watching an interventional cardiologist work, there’s this moment of tension as they guide a catheter through the coronary arteries. They’re staring at the fluoroscopy screen, and everything depends on how well they can see that tiny device navigating through the patient’s vasculature. We’ve been in those cath labs where you can practically feel… Continue reading The Future of Radiopaque Tubing in Minimally Invasive Devices
The Role of Tolerances in Advanced Catheter Manufacturing
2 April 2025
In interventional medicine, success and failure often hinge on measurements smaller than the diameter of a human hair. From simple extrusions to reinforced, steerable, and multi-lumen configurations, all catheters depend on accurate tolerances to function properly. Sub-micron accuracy is the foundation of critical performance characteristics like flow control, torque response, and kink resistance. When a… Continue reading The Role of Tolerances in Advanced Catheter Manufacturing
