Zeus Tie Layer is a thin thermoplastic coating that is placed over a PTFE liner during catheter construction. The coating creates a melt bondable surface that improves adhesion to the catheter jacket following the reflow process. Used in this way, the Zeus Tie Layer improves jacket-to-liner bond strength and enhances mechanical properties of the finished device.
The medical device industry’s primary concerns are patient safety and successful outcomes. Reducing costs and increasing yields are also important. Zeus Tie Layer gives designers and engineers a new tool that can deliver improvement in each of these facets.
Better jacket-to-liner bond strength helps promote improved patient care and fortifies the catheter, thus protecting your end user and your investment. For a bond that is a good as our word, explore Zeus Tie Layer for your next design.
