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. 

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 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.
