Variability in PTFE coating thickness can introduce fit issues, dimensional inconsistency, and performance variation across catheter builds. In this sponsored technical blog post, Applied Plastics explores how process control in coatings supports tighter tolerances, more consistent assembly, and reliable outcomes across catheter development.
Early design decisions with Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) shape tooling complexity, validation risk, and long-term medical device performance. In this technical blog, Precision Associates, Inc. (PAI) shares practical design considerations for R&D teams to design for manufacturability earlier in the development process.
