In catheter development and manufacturing, inconsistent heat shrink removal can increase operator dependence, scrap, rework, and risk to delicate assemblies. In this sponsored technical blog post, Junkosha explains how FEP based peelable heat shrink tubing, engineered for controlled linear peelability, helps R&D and manufacturing teams support more repeatable bonding, forming, and lamination processes from development through scaled production.

Lubrizol is now on Chamfr with medical-grade silicone tubing, sheeting, and films for MedTech R&D teams. Source small quantities, compare standard sizes, and reduce friction for early testing, prototyping, design verification preparation, and supplier down-selection.

Heat shrink behavior can affect final device performance and assembly. In this sponsored technical blog post and full guide, Cobalt Polymers shares key considerations and use cases for selecting a material, shrink ratio, and wall thickness, including where Pebax® and Polyolefin Heat Shrink Tubing fit in medical device design.

PTFE remains a foundational catheter liner material, but material selection is becoming more complex. Explore why MedTech R&D teams are evaluating PTFE through a broader lens across performance, supply chain resilience, sterilization, and regulatory planning.

Prototype, test, and validate device designs using biologically derived tissues and extracellular matrix materials to prepare for clinical stages. Now available on Chamfr, Evergen offers ready-to-ship, off-the-shelf biomaterials to help you move from concept to validation faster.
