Microlayer Tubes

Microlayer tubes are rapidly becoming the go-to choice for applications that demand small diameter tubes with thin walls made from low durometer materials. While extruded tubes are suitable for stiffer materials or thicker walls, producing small, thin-walled tubes through extrusion can be challenging.
This is where microlayertubes excel.

Microlayertubes are rapidly becoming the go-to choice for applications that demand small diameter tubes with thin walls made from low durometer materials.
While extruded tubes are suitable for stiffer materials or thicker walls, producing small, thin-walled tubes through extrusion can be challenging.

At Medibrane, we offer a range of microlayertubes with wall thicknesses starting at just 15 microns and diameters ranging from 100 microns to 25 mm.
These tubes are manufactured using a specialized tube drawing process, in which a larger tube is drawn through a smaller die, reducing its diameter and increasing its length.
This technique enables the creation of extremely small, thin-walled tubes that are difficult to achieve through extrusion.

Microlayer Catheter Shafts: From Process Advantage to Structural Performance

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
