ToughFlex™ Extruded PTFE Liner

ToughFlex™ Extruded PTFE Liner

Optimize catheter flexibility with jMedtech’s extruded tubing medical expertise. ToughFlex™ delivers exceptional size accuracy and reliable medical thin wall tubing.

jMedtech is a pioneer in ultra-thin walled medical liner production and one of the first in the world to master both the free extrusion and extrusion over-the-wire liner with mandrel technologies.

Product Introduction

The extrusion process in jMedtech’s ToughFlex™ extruded PTFE tubing promotes grain relaxation within the PTFE matrix, creating axial, extrusion-oriented fibers that significantly improve strength and rigidity. This advanced approach allows the custom PTFE extruded tubing to achieve an ultrathin medical thin wall tubing design with outstanding flexibility, durability, and full traceability. As a trusted choice among PTFE liner suppliers, jMedtech delivers precision medical tubing and extruded tubing medical solutions that empower engineers to pursue innovative catheter custom extrusion and next-generation intravascular delivery systems.

Product Advantages


Ultra-Thin Wall Thickness

The ToughFlex™ PTFE extruded tubing from jMedtech achieves an ultra-thin wall thickness of up to 0.0005 inches (approximately 12 microns). This advanced medical thin wall tubing design enhances softness and transparency while reducing overall catheter diameter. Its superior lubricity minimizes tissue damage and irritation during insertion and withdrawal of medical devices.


Industry-Leading Tolerance
Each ToughFlex™ custom PTFE extruded tubing undergoes rigorous inspection to ensure the highest precision. Strict quality controls keep the inner diameter within ±0.0005 inches and the wall thickness within ±0.00025 inches, setting a new benchmark among PTFE liner suppliers.


Production Consistency
The production process—including extrusion, cutting, and winding—follows strict standards to ensure uniformity and reliability. This guarantees that jMedtech’s extruded tubing medical solutions deliver stable, high-performance components for catheter custom extrusion, R&D, and medical device production.


Excellent Tensile Strength
ToughFlex™ demonstrates superior tensile strength compared to conventional extruded PTFE tubing, providing engineers with confidence in durability and long-term performance.


After-Sales Service
With impeccable after-sales service, jMedtech ensures a worry-free purchasing experience for clients worldwide.


Support for Custom Sizes
Available in a wide range of dimensions, custom PTFE tubing can be tailored to exact specifications. This ensures a precise fit in medical devices, enhancing reliability, operability, and overall clinical outcomes.


Short Lead Time
Leveraging strong procurement, production, and supply chain capabilities, jMedtech significantly reduces delivery times. Standard products are available within 2 weeks, while customized sizes are delivered within 4–8 weeks.
