Combining super-thin walls with high tensile strength and excellent dielectric properties, Zeus PET Sub-Lite-Wall™ heat shrink delivers versatile performance across a broad range of applications, including braid termination, shaft reinforcement, and component insulation.
Advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques have led to an increased demand for thinner, smaller, and more capable devices for delivering next-gen therapies. As a result, device makers are constantly challenged not only to find new ways to maximize performance while keeping device profiles to a minimum, but also to enhance production processes and improve yields.
With these challenges in mining to push the boundaries of medical device innovation. Whether used as a functional layer or a processing aid for catheter shafts, complex multi-layer constructions, balloons, or electrosurgical devices, PET Sub-Lite-Wall™ heat shrink provides the combination of size, strength, and reliability required for the most advanced minimally invasive device designs.
Zeus PET Sub-Lite-Wall™ heat shrink can be produced with nominal wall thicknesses as low as 0.00025″ (0.00635 mm), depending on ID, and with wall tolerances as low as ± 0.0001″ (0.0025 mm). IDs ranging from 0.018″ – 0.390″ (0.457 mm – 9.906 mm) help support a range of catheter designs. Additionally, PET’s modest recovery temperature of 158 °F – 374 °F (70 °C – 190 °C) allows it to be utilized in critical applications where heat-sensitive materials and components are present. Custom colors are also available to further tailor the material to your specific application.
