New over-the-wire (OTW) lining bridges the gap between film casting and extrusion lining
Orangeburg, South Carolina, March 4, 2020/PRNewswire/-Zeus Industrial Products, Inc. (Zeus), a leading polymer solutions provider and material science innovator, has expanded its StreamLiner™ thin extrusion PTFE catheter lining series. Using a proprietary process, Zeus can now extrude wire (OTW) liners, which are comparable in size to film cast tubes, but with higher strength. The new StreamLiner OTW UT is the thinnest extrusion liner to date, with a nominal wall thickness as low as 0.0004" (0.0102 mm) and a tolerance of /- 0.0002" (0.0051 mm).
By extruding the wire, Zeus produces the desired combination of wall thickness, flexibility and strength. Zeus' StreamLiner OTW products enable medical device manufacturers to develop safer, smoother, and stronger catheters that can penetrate into the patient's vasculature.
With the release of StreamLiner OTW, Zeus offers several advantages to medical device manufacturers:
Specific catheter applications for the StreamLiner OTW series include occlusion balloon catheters, microcatheters, mechanical and aspiration thrombectomy catheters, intermediate catheters, guide catheters with and without balloons, and support catheters.
"Zeus continues to lead with its technological innovations in PTFE linings. Our new StreamLiner OTW series uses the most advanced technology to open the door to new possibilities for catheter manufacturers. Currently, no other polymer solves the problem. Solution providers can provide extruded PTFE liners with comparable wall thickness, flexibility and strength. Zeus is the only company on the market that can provide flexible PTFE liners extruded on wires with the smallest wall thickness." – Bob Chaney, Zeus Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing Industrial Products, Inc.
"StreamLiner OTW bridges the gap between film cast liners and free extrusion liners by providing extremely thin walls, flexibility and strength. These features support more catheter design options, which ultimately translate into better handleability. , Transportability and overall performance-all of which will not affect patient safety." – Matt Allen, Senior Product Line Manager, Zeus Industrial Products, Inc.
