In catheter shaft design, manufacturing methodology directly defines device performance. Traditional telescopic reflow processes have long been used to assemble multi-layer shafts, but they introduce limitations in bonding quality, design flexibility, tolerances, and transition control. Microlayer technology fundamentally changes this paradigm by enabling a continuous, deposition-based approach that integrates structure, flexibility, and precision into a single process. Proc

In today's world of advanced medical technologies, precision is paramount, especially in the development of minimally invasive medical devices. The demand for microlayer tubes made from low durometer materials is on the rise, and they are quickly becoming a game-changer in the field. While extruded tubes have long been favored for applications requiring stiffness and high wall thickness, they present significant challenges when it comes to miniature sizes with ultra-thin wall

Microlayer technology represents a significant advancement in the design and manufacturing of medical tubing and catheter components. By enabling ultra-thin, highly controlled coating layers, Microlayer solutions provide unmatched precision, flexibility, and design freedom addressing many of the limitations found in conventional extrusion practices. Smooth, Controlled Transitions One of the key advantages of Microlayer technology is its ability to create seamless, gradual tra
