PTFE Heat Shrinkable Tubes: Ideal for Medical Device Packaging with Multiple Advantages


PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) heat shrinkable tubes, with their excellent dielectric strength, low friction coefficient and chemical corrosion resistance, have become the ideal choice for medical device packaging and are widely used in:


● Guide wire sheath (interventional and access surgery)

● Coated surgical instruments

● Dielectric insulation & Component protection

The zebra/spiral stripe design endows PTFE heat shrink tubes with new characteristics - enhanced visibility, helping doctors precisely track the position of the guide wire and improving surgical efficiency.

Therefore, the sheath provided by PTFE Zebra Spiral Heat-Shrink Tubing for medical devices can not only reduce friction and resist damage from high temperatures, impacts, corrosion, moisture and other extreme environments, but also increase visibility and facilitate clinical applications.


jMedtech PTFE Zebra Spiral Heat-Shrink Tubing


jMedtech PTFE Zebra Spiral heat-shrink Tubing features a stable process and a high Heat shrinkage ratio, which can minimize longitudinal shrinkage during recovery to the greatest extent. The core advantages include:


The maximum heat shrinkage ratio can reach up to 6:1

jMedtech PTFE Zebra Spiral heat-shrink Tubing can achieve Heat shrinkage ratios of 6:1, 5:1, 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, etc., and is suitable for the packaging requirements of various complex medical components.


Ultra-thin and precise wall thickness

By using precise extrusion technology, ultra-thin wall thickness pipes are produced, with a heat shrinkage recovery wall thickness of ≥0.002" (0.051mm).


Colorful zebra tubes are provided

A variety of zebra stripes in different colors are available to meet the visibility requirements of the instrument products.


The performance is stable and reliable

We have a strict quality management system to ensure stable product performance and thorough performance verification, including friction force tests, contact Angle tests, heat shrinkage performance tests, etc.
