PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) provides a lubricious inner layer ideal for catheter applications that require low friction. PTFE liners have ultrathin walls (0.0005" – 0.002"), which can maximize your inner diameter and give you space to do more with your device, such as adding a reinforcement layer. PTFE liners also add minimal stiffness to the catheter shaft for high flexibility. This is a key requirement for neurovascular applications, where devices must navigate torturous vascular pathways.

Our PTFE liners on mandrels can be fabricated with a thin thermoplastic outer layer to enhance adhesion. This "strike layer" adds up to 60% more bond strength between the etched PTFE surface and the catheter assembly.

To learn more about the key advantages of using film-cast PTFE liners, read the white paper: Top-5 Reasons to Use Film-Cast PTFE Liner Tubing for Your Next Catheter Design.

The Film-Cast Process: What Makes it Possible

The film-cast process begins by applying a thin layer of liquid polyimide resin to a solid mandrel. The resin is cured until solid using high temperature polymerization. The process is then repeated, adding layers of material until the desired tubing wall thickness is achieved.

This film-cast process makes it very easy to customize tubing. Different polymers, filament reinforcements, and particulate material additives can be layered onto the tubing's cross-section. The film-cast process also allows for the manufacture of tubing with much thinner walls, smaller outer diameters (OD),—walls down to 0.0003 inches and ODs down to 0.005 inches—and with more dimensional stability than tubing made via extrusion.
