PEEK Catheter Tubing - high tensile strength, buckling resistance, good pushability and radiopacity.

What is PEEK Catheter Tubing? Polyether ether-ketone (PEEK) is a thermoplastic polymer that can be extruded into catheter tubing with desirable properties such as high tensile strength, buckling resistance, good pushability and radiopacity.  Why would you choose PEEK medical Tubing?  Unlike polyimide, PEEK is melt processable and can be extruded into small diameter tubes for vascular catheters and larger diameter, thin wall tubes for non-vascular applications, such as Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) devices. What medical devices or procedures is PEEK commonly used in? PEEK vascular catheters provide strong and flexible, small diameter tubing. Non-vascular applications such as endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures often demand larger diameter, thinner wall PEEK tubes.  Hardness:Ultra hard material Chemical:Very good chemical resistance Temperatures:Stable at temperatures up to 228°C Abrasion:Excellent abrasion resistance Flame:Flame retardant (UL94 V-0) Dimensional:Very tight dimensional tolerances
