By improving jacket-to-liner bond strength, Tie Layer helps to improve patient safety, enhance catheter performance, and reduce manufacturing costs.
Enhance Catheter Performance with Tie Layer
A Bond You Can Count On
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.
Available Tie Layer Materials:
- Pebax® – 35D to 72D durometers
- Vestamid® 75D (Nylons)
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.
