Medical-grade, Biocompatible PEEK Polymer Materials
PEEK Catheter Tubing is a thermoplastic polymer that can be extruded into catheter tubing with desirable properties such as high tensile strength, buckling resistance, good pushability and radiopacity.
BIOMATERIAL PROPERTY
Key Features of PEEK Tubing:
• Ultra hard material
• Very good chemical resistance
• Stable at temperatures up to 228°C
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Flame retardant (UL94 V-0)
• Very tight dimensional tolerances
PEEK Tubing:
• In coils, on spools or straight lengths with clean, square cuts
• Translucent or Opaque
• Wall thickness varying along length (Bumped tubing)
• Coloured PEEK tubing
• Multi-Layer PEEK tubing
• Reinforced PEEK tubing (Stainless Steel Wires)
• Shaped tubing
