TE Connectivity Medical Heat-Shrink Tubing Solutions
TE Connectivity has over 50 years of proven expertise in the material for mulation, extrusion, irradiation, and expansion of high-performance heat-shrink tubing. From our core strengths in materials science, design engineering, and in-house compounding, our Raychem technology has emerged as an essential element in the design and manufacture of USP Class VI certified medical heat-shrink tubing. Continuous improvement and unrivaled process technology complement our vast capabilities, which include application-specific custom formulations (color concentrates, radiopaque additives, conductive polymeric materials, reactive compounding, and adhesives) and polymer crosslinking.
 Highlights of Medical Tubing:
- Thin-wall polyolefins
- High temperature, flexible and semi-rigid fluoropolymers
- Dual-wall constructions
- Nylons and polyether block amides (PEBA)
- Controlled longitudinal shrinkage
- Clear and color constructions
- Radiopaque formulations
