Medical Polyimide Tubing

Medical Polyimide Tubing

Medical polyimide tubing holds its strength and wear resistance even at very small dimensions. Where a surgical application needs extra lubricity, a PI/PTFE composite lowers the coefficient of friction and reduces surface drag. Combining both materials keeps the inner wall smooth while the PI layer carries the structural support that prevents deformation.

Medical polyimide tubing — four small-bore amber tubes

Characteristics

Advantages
Linstant published data
Our own PI solution lets us tune modulus, strength, elongation and colour to your requirement
A coating process reaches thinner walls than extrusion
Adhesion is good without surface treatment — bonds directly to nylon and TPU
Beyond the standard 0.10–2 mm bore we mass-produce up to 5.00 mm
Ultra-high heat resistance — over 350 °C continuous, 450 °C short term
Good biocompatibility

FAQ

FAQ

Is a PI wall within 0.02 mm possible?

Yes. In the ID 1.3–1.6 mm class we hold wall within 0.02 mm at ±0.02 mm tolerance.

Do you do small prototype lots?

Yes. From 30–40 pcs, including cut pieces of 100–170 mm.

Can I get the MSDS · TDS · biocompatibility report for Medical Polyimide Tubing?

Yes. TDS · MSDS come with every specification reply. ISO 10993 biocompatibility data varies by grade and lot, so we confirm it with the factory (Linstant) and reply.

What about samples, MOQ and lead time for Medical Polyimide Tubing?

Standard sizes start with small sample lots. MOQ and lead time depend on dimensions, material and secondary processing — send OD · ID · wall · tolerance · length · quantity and we reply within one business day.
