Polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE, is a highly lubricous polymer with many applications. One important application is in medical devices and components, like stainless steel PTFE-coated hypo-tubes, where it is widely used because of its high biocompatibility and inertness.
Stainless steel PTFE-coated hypo-tubes are small diameter hollow tubes that are common within the medical device industry. While they are an important component of the hypodermic needle – which is where they get their name – they are ideal for the production of EP catheters, guidewire cores, and alternatives to wires in neurology, embolic protection, carotid artery therapy, and more.
Because stainless steel PTFE-coated hypo-tubes can degrade over time, the coating peels off, and have extremely long coating lead times, see our NEW Quick Release PTFE Glass tubing technology.
