Company and factory pictures

PET heat shrink tubing is widely used in medical devices such as vascular intervention, structural heart disease, tumors, electrophysiology, digestion, respiration, and urology due to its excellent properties in the areas of insulation, protection, stiffness, sealing, fixation, and strain relief.

PET heat shrink tubing could tightly wrap irregular-shaped or variable-diameter products

PET heat shrink tubing is developed by AccuPath® to have an ultra-thin wall (the thinnest wall thickness can reach 0.0002'') and high heat shrink ratio (reach up to 2:1), making it an ideal polymer material for design of medical devices and manufacturing technology. This tubing features excellent electrical insulation performance to improve the electrical safety performance of medical devices. Fast delivery is available to shorten the research and development cycle of medical devices.

● Ultrathin wall, super tensile
● Lower shrinkage temperature
● Smooth inner and outer surfaces
● High radial shrinkage
● Excellent biocompatibility
● Excellent dielectric strength

Product Advantages
Precise tolerance is a must to ensure that extended dimensions consistently meet critical requirements. Experimental tests show that under the same wall thickness, all characteristics of the product can reach or exceed international standards. This is the preferred raw material for high-end medical device manufacturing.
