FEP Heat Shrink Tubing – Long-Length Solutions for Catheter Development
Component Supply offers LightningCath FEP heat shrink tubing in extended 72″ lengths, designed for advanced catheter development and medical device applications. This tubing provides exceptional concentricity with minimal change in length upon recovery, ensuring precise, reliable coverage for delicate components.
FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) is highly valued in medical device manufacturing for its biocompatibility, chemical inertness, low coefficient of friction, and excellent temperature resistance. It also delivers superior electrical insulation and dielectric strength, making it suitable for applications that demand both performance and reliability.
Fully autoclavable and gamma sterilizable, LightningCath FEP heat shrink tubing withstands most chemicals, except molten alkali metals, fluorine gas, and certain halogen compounds. Its combination of durability, precision, and sterilization compatibility makes it a preferred choice for engineers and researchers developing high-performance medical devices and catheter assemblies.
Recovery Temperature:
400°F (204°C)
