Medical Polyimide Tubing

Medical Polyimide Tubing

Name: Medical Polyimide Tubing
Brand: Octudex

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.

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
