Overlay of Pebax Heat Shrink Tubing is an effective alternative to FEP for achieving thinner walls and higher performance for diagnostic catheter application

When you order a spiral cuff electrode on Chamfr.com, you may wonder what’s the best way to get started designing it into your device? CorTec’s created a guide to help.

This 4:1 product is unlike other heat shrink tubing: think household plastic wrap rather than plastic straw.

Medical wire is being designed into more and more catheters because it allows for a conduction of energy. This makes it great for applications such as diagnostic, ablation, ultrasound, hearing aids and much more.

It’s now possible to create a thinner, higher performance medical device using a laser-cut hypotube. What’s even more exciting is that a laser-cut hypotube and a single jacket of Pebax heat shrink tubing used together help streamline the process.

As an engineer who’s worked on many medical devices, I’m still learning each and every day. There’s so many resources, components and technologies used in device development. It’s one of the many reasons I’m still so passionate and excited about this industry after 15 years on the job.
