Characteristics

Advantages
Linstant published data
Stretching heats and draws the tube into a gradual taper
Extrusion varies the OD along the length as the tube is drawn
Welding joins two tubes of different size to create a step

FAQ

FAQ

Can only the tube end be reduced?

Yes. Necking reduces end OD · ID, flaring enlarges it, to fit assemblies.

Are multi-stiffness shafts made this way?

Diameter changing combined with bonding of different tubes creates the stiffness steps.

Can I get the MSDS · TDS · biocompatibility report for Catheter Diameter Changing?

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 Catheter Diameter Changing?

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.
