| Usage | The primary usage of FEP heat shrink tubing in catheter delivery devices is as a temporary, precision processing aid during the final assembly and packaging stages. In this critical application, the tubing is slid over a specific component of the catheter, such as the proximal hub, a transition joint between two different polymer shafts, or over a folded balloon segment. Upon the application of controlled heat, the FEP tubing uniformly shrinks radially, applying a consistent and gentle compressive force.This process performs several key functions simultaneously: it securely bonds or reflows underlying components like marker bands or adhesive layers, ensures smooth transitions between different diameters to eliminate steps that could cause vascular trauma during insertion, and protects delicate, pre-shaped components (e.g., a curved tip) from deforming during sterilization and transit. For balloon catheters, it is essential for compactly folding the balloon onto the shaft to achieve a low-profile crossing diameter. Once the device arrives in the operating room, the physician simply peels away the FEP tubing, which is designed to split cleanly without leaving residue, revealing a perfectly assembled, sterile, and ready-to-use catheter. This “use-and-remove” nature makes it an indispensable tool for manufacturing high-performance, complex minimally invasive devices. |
| Main features | * Excellent Biocompatibility: FEP is inherently biocompatible and typically complies with USP Class VI and ISO 10993 standards, ensuring safety for medical device use. * High Clarity & Transparency: Its crystal-clear nature allows for visual inspection of the underlying components and adhesive flow during the heating process, ensuring assembly quality. * Chemical Inertness: Highly resistant to harsh chemicals, solvents, and adhesives used in device assembly, preventing degradation or bonding with the device surface. * Low Friction Surface: The inherent slipperiness of FEP facilitates easy peeling and removal from the catheter assembly without leaving particles or residue. * Precise & Uniform Shrinkage: Provides consistent radial shrinkage at a predictable ratio (e.g., 2:1) when heated, applying even pressure for reliable and repeatable results. * High-Temperature Resistance: With a melting point significantly higher than the shrinkage temperature, it can withstand the high heat required for processing (e.g., with hot air guns or ovens) without melting or compromising its structure. * Puncture and Tear Resistant: Offers good mechanical strength for handling during the assembly process while remaining easy to tear off by hand. |
| Application | * Balloon Catheter Folding: Compressing and forming angioplasty, stent delivery, and valvuloplasty balloon wings onto the catheter shaft. * Component Bonding: Securing radiopaque marker bands, catheter hubs, and transition joints between different polymer layers(e.g., PEBAX to Nylon). * Tip Forming & Protection: Maintaining the shape of pre-formed catheter tips and protecting them during sterilization and shipping. * Stent Securement: Temporarily holding a stent in place on a balloon delivery system within its packaging. * Creating Smooth Transitions: Blending the step between a larger hub and a smaller catheter shaft to enhance deliverability. * Delivery Sheath Jacketing: Providing a smooth, low-friction outer layer for introducer sheaths. |
