Tolerances must be read separately from nominal values. Braided, coil and steerable sheaths are published by the principal in French size; confirmed millimetre specifications appear in the OEM tables. For balloon tubing the sources differ on whether the range is ID or OD, so both are shown. Converted figures are never presented as specifications.

Regulatory response

We supply a UHMWPE liner that replaces the PTFE one

Three fluoropolymers — PTFE, FEP and PFA — are in scope of the EU PFAS restriction. How derogations are assessed per use, and the swap route, are set out separately.
