Catheter manufacturing shaft

PVDFPTFEflat

DTC & Partners use proprietary techniques for providing thin-walled, braided, and coiled catheters that range from 1.5F to 28F. We collaborate with you for analyzing the right balance between column strength, resilience, kink resistance, and torque response in the thinnest wall to meet the performance needs. Catheter Shaft Technologies Configurations Multi-Lumen Shafts Braid to coil conversions Deflectable and fixed curve shafts Multi-durometer shafts Variable pitch coils and pick count braids DTC Capabilities Braid – OD from 2F to 26F, single wall density down to 0.005 in/0.13 mm Coil – OD from 1.5F to 28F, single wall density down to 0.003 in/0.08 mm Outer Jacket – polyamide, polyether block amide (PEBA) & urethane, custom blends Wire: Round, Flat, and Ribbon Stainless Steel, aramid, and Fabric The diameter of the wire is from 0.0005” to 0.010” Liners: Fluoropolymer: PTFE, FEP, eFEP, eTEP, PVDF, PFA custom liners Thermoplastic: polyamide, PEBA, PU, PE Others: polyimide, PEEK Marker Bands – gold, platinum, radiopaque polymers Secondary Operations – funneling, curving, bonding, porting, tapering, and tipping There are single and multi-durometer options available Custom material fusion, color concentrates, and radiopaque fillers
