ETFE Tube
ETFE tubes manufactured by Demax are crafted from high-quality ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) polymer.
This fluoropolymer material offers exceptional chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility, making it ideal for medical device applications.
ETFE tubes undergo precise extrusion processes to achieve consistent dimensions, smooth surfaces, and reliable performance in medical settings.
Features
- Good impact strength and abrasion resistance, superior to PTFE.
- Low coefficient of friction, smoother
- Better resistance to cut-through and stress cracking.
- ETFE maintains its mechanical properties at continuous operating temperatures exceeding 300 ºF (148 ºC).
Applications
ETFE tubes find wide-ranging applications across various medical specialties and procedures, including:- Catheterization:Used as a conduit for fluid delivery, guidewire passage, or balloon inflation in catheter-based interventions such as angioplasty, cardiac catheterization, and urinary catheterization.
- Endoscopy:Employed in endoscopic devices for gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urological procedures, providing channels for visualization, tissue sampling, and therapeutic interventions.
- Surgical Instruments: Integrated into surgical instruments for irrigation, suction, or illumination, enhancing functionality and precision during minimally invasive and open surgical procedures.
Technical Parameters
- Outer diameter: 0.5~10.0mm, tolerance: ±0.05mm
- Wall thickness: 0.03mm, tolerance: ±0.02mm
