Enhance Catheter Performance with Tie Layer
By improving jacket-to-liner bond strength, Tie Layer adhesion layer applied over PTFE or FEP liners helps to improve patient safety, enhance catheter performance, and reduce manufacturing costs. Enhanced bond strength between liner and jacket ranging from 20-40%.
Delamination is a challenging failure mode in catheter construction; it carries both risk and cost burden for device manufacturers. Detection typically does not occur until final testing – after catheter assembly is complete – resulting in significant product loss. Delamination can also lead to failures in the field and product recalls.
By creating a stronger bond between the outer catheter jacket and inner liner, Zeus’ Tie Layer solution helps enhance consistency in catheter performance and can ultimately help improve patient safety.
