Contact SupplierPTFE Tubing Comes in May Varities | ||||
Type | Descrption | Purpose | ||
Single-lumen | Plain PTFE tubing with single outer and inner walls | Many applications across industries | ||
Multi-lumen | Single outer tube with multiple inner tube cavities | Each inner tube holds a different fluid/ wire - useful in medical Application | ||
Split | Ridge on tube wall allowing it to be split longitudinally | Surgeon can remove a PTFE introducer from a patient while the primary device remains in place | ||
Heat shrinkable | Thin tubing which shrinks in diameter when hot air is applied to it | Used to sheath wires, glass tubes for insulation or protection | ||
Filled | Chemical additive giving radiopaque Additive | Used in medical inserts -to show up in X-rays |
Unique in many ways compared to conventional polymer Tubing | ||||
