Engineered for hemodynamic stability, device responsiveness, and seamless catheter integration in minimally invasive interventions.
Medical-grade tapered tubing delivers a controlled, progressive reduction in outer diameter (OD) along its length — enabling optimized torque transmission, reduced profile transitions, and enhanced trackability through tortuous vasculature. Unlike uniform-diameter alternatives, our precision-tapered extrusions eliminate abrupt step-downs that cause flow disruption or device snagging at critical junctions.
Designed for OEM partners developing next-generation neurovascular, cardiovascular, and peripheral intervention devices, this tubing integrates seamlessly into balloon catheters, microcatheters, aspiration systems, and delivery sheaths — where dimensional fidelity, kink resistance, and pushability are non-negotiable.
Taper ratio controlled within ±0.5% tolerance over full length — eliminating stress concentration points and ensuring predictable flexural response during navigation.
Extruded from medical-grade Pebax® 72D, Hytrel® G4078, or custom polymer blends — fully compliant with ISO 10993-5/-10 and USP Class VI requirements.
OD taper profiles repeatable to ±5µm; wall thickness variation <±3µm — validated via laser micrometry and inline vision inspection.
Microcatheter distal tapers for coil embolization and thrombectomy access.
Balloon catheter shaft tapers for improved pushability and reduced vessel trauma.
Sheath-to-catheter interface tapers for smooth device exchange and reduced friction.
