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
