1. Introduction to Medical PTFE Extrusion Technology
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is widely used in the medical industry due to its excellent chemical stability, low friction coefficient, and biocompatibility.
However, due to its unique non-melt processing behavior, PTFE cannot be processed using conventional plastic extrusion methods. It requires specialized equipment such as a medical-grade PTFE extrusion line designed for high-precision tube forming.
👉 Our 🔗【medical PTFE interventional catheter extrusion line】 is developed specifically for producing high-performance catheter tubing used in minimally invasive medical procedures.
2. What is a PTFE Interventional Catheter Extrusion Line?
A PTFE interventional catheter extrusion line is a complete production system used to manufacture thin-walled PTFE tubes for medical catheter applications.
It typically includes:
- Precision feeding system
- High-pressure extrusion unit
- Controlled shaping die system
- Sintering furnace system
- Cooling and cutting system
This ensures stable dimensional accuracy and smooth inner wall surface, which is critical for medical-grade applications.
