Our solutions for the Endoscopy Market

Tygon® LCF Tubing

This novel, soft, flexible TPE enables you to have more freedom in your designs. Due to the low coefficient of friction (CoF), which is comparable to ePTFE and PTFE, you can now put a flexible TPE in use where you might have required a different design altogether. 

Tapered, Tipped, and Ring Marked PTFE

Many endoscopic procedures require precise PTFE instrumentation. Our proprietary manufacturing processes create tapered and tipped PTFE as well as the ability to add ring markings that can ensure your devices are assembled and used to your specifications.

Heat Shrink PTFE

Heat shrink PTFE is ideal for many endoscopic applications due to the material’s lubricity and low coefficient of friction. It can reach higher expansion ratios than other fluoropolymers so it works well for heat-shrink manufacturing processes. 

Endoscope Shaft Tubing

Saint-Gobain offers high performance shaft tubing for your endoscope. Whether coiled or braided, the reinforced tubing is customizable to achieve an optimal balance of flexibility and rigidity. Based on customer specific design requirements, Saint-Gobain can match the appropriate dimensions, material types and grades to offer both resistance and lubricity.

Sheath Tubing

Saint-Gobain offers high performance shaft tubing for your endoscope. Whether coiled or braided, the reinforced tubing is customizable to achieve an optimal balance of flexibility and rigidity. Based on customer specific design requirements, Saint-Gobain can match the appropriate dimensions, material types and grades to offer both resistance and lubricity.

Filtration

Saint-Gobain’s customized filtration solutions can provide unique value propositions for endoscope reprocessors. Through creation of unique design solutions, the filter can have extended on-stream life and retain its essential integrity to provide sterile filtrate.
