The liner will become the inner wall, or lumen, of the completed catheter. Generally, the most desired features of a catheter liner are thin walls and a low coefficient of friction (high lubricity). Thin walls maximize intraluminal space while keeping the overall device profile to a minimum. High lubricity reduces friction against devices and tools that pass through the catheter.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"yellow button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zeusinc.com\/contact-us\">REQUEST A SAMPLE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>PTFE Sub-Lite-Wall\u2122\u00a0Liners<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With industry-leading sizing, tight tolerances, and high-performance properties, Zeus PTFE Sub-Lite-Wall\u2122 liners are an ideal choice for a wide variety of advanced vascular catheter designs.

Reinforced PI tubing can be produced in full-load and half-load braid patterns, as well as clockwise and counter-clockwise coiling, with various PPI (picks per inch) and WPI (wraps per inch) to meet your design requirements.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Key Benefits and Capabilities:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Maintains Properties with Thin Walls and Tight Tolerances<\/li>\n<li>Customizable Lubricity<\/li>\n<li>Customizable Mechanical Properties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As an added bonus, Zeus PI tubing products help you adhere to REACH and EU MDR guidelines regarding SVHC\/CMR restricted substances.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<table style=\"font-size: .8em;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\" width=\"200\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\" width=\"200\"><strong>Polyimide Tubing<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\" width=\"200\"><strong>Reinforced Polyimide Tubing<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Process<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Film-Cast<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Film-Cast<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Material<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Polyimide, PI Glide\u2122<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Polyimide, PI Glide\u2122<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Inside Diameter (ID)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">0.0045&#8243; \u2013 0.090&#8243;<br \/>\n(0.1143 mm \u2013 2.286 mm)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">0.010&#8243; \u2013 0.070&#8243;<br \/>\n(0.254 mm \u2013 1.778 mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">ID Tolerance<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">\u00b1 0.0002&#8243; \u2013 0.001&#8243;<br \/>\n(\u00b1 0.0051 mm \u2013 0.025 mm)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">\u00b1 0.0002&#8243; \u2013 0.001&#8243;<br \/>\n(\u00b1 0.0051 mm \u2013 0.025 mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Wall Thickness<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">0.0004&#8243; \u2013 0.005&#8243; Nom.<br \/>\n(0.0102 mm \u2013 0.127 mm)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">0.002&#8243; \u2013 0.006&#8243; Total<br \/>\n(0.051 mm \u2013 0.152 mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Wall Tolerance +\/-<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">\u00b1 25%<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">\u00b1 25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Cut Length<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Up to 78&#8243; Max<br \/>\n(Up to 1981.2 mm)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Up to 78&#8243; Max<br \/>\n(Up to 1981.2 mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Surface Treatment<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Tie Layer<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Tie Layer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Reinforcement<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">N\/A<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">304V Stainless Steel, Nitinol<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Colors<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Natural, Amber, Green, Red, Black<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Natural, Amber, Green, Red, Black<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">Sterilization Methods<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">EtO, E-Beam**, Gamma**<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; width: 200px;\">EtO, E-Beam**, Gamma**<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p><em>** Gamma and e-beam sterilization methods are not available with PI Glide\u2122 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"yellow button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zeusinc.com\/contact-us\">REQUEST A SAMPLE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>PFX Flex\u2122 liners are made using a non-fluorinated polymer resin alternative to PTFE and without the intentional addition of any per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
