Parker Medical GradeFEP Heat Shrink for catheter forming has a uniform recovery and a maximum constrainedelongation up to + 5 percent. This reduced elongation limits the possibility ofcurling or pigtailing, to eliminate marks, ridges and thread effects. With afaster recovery time, Parker TexLoc Medical Grade FEP Heat Shrink is responsivein reflow applications for catheter manufacturing. It allows the heat shrink tosoften and contain the resins being reflowed beneath, forming a smoothtransition and uniform wall from one resin to the next. When using a slightlythicker wall, two paths can be scored 180 degrees apart, enabling removal afterthe reflow is complete. This reduces marring of the resins beneath fromgripping or cutting after the shrink process.

ParkerTexLoc Medical Grade FEP Heat Shrink is available in custom sizes. Yourapplication determines the expanded I.D., recovered I.D. and wall thickness.The technology allows faster deliveries, even with the addition of customenhancements such as scoring and cutting. Samples are available upon request.
