PTFE Liner Manufacturer
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer that is used as a liner in catheters due to its unique properties. PTFE has a very low coefficient of friction, which helps to reduce friction in delivery systems and makes it easier to advance devices such as stents or balloons.
PTFE is also a highly durable material with excellent tensile strength. Catheter liners made of PTFE can withstand the stresses of use in medical devices and resist breaking or tearing.
