Medical PTFE/ FEP/ PFA Zebra Heat Shrink tube
Zetai is a professional PTFE Zebra Heat Shrink Tubing manufacturer in China, providing customized fluoropolymer tubing solutions for medical device manufacturers, catheter companies, and endoscopic instrument suppliers.
We offer custom design, extrusion manufacturing, and OEM support for PTFE/FEP medical heat shrink tubing used in catheters, endoscopic devices, minimally invasive instruments, and medical wire protection.
Made from medical-grade PTFE material, PTFE Zebra Heat Shrink Tubing features excellent chemical resistance, low friction, and stable performance. The clear zebra marking helps with easy identification during assembly. The 4:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to cover different component sizes, helping customers reduce the need for multiple tubing specifications during assembly.
Product Features
High 4:1 Shrink Ratio
The 4:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to fit components with different diameters, reducing the need for multiple tubing sizes during medical device assembly.
Smooth Inner Surface and Low Friction
The smooth inner surface helps reduce friction during assembly and protects sensitive components such as wires, shafts, and catheter parts.
Medical Grade Safety Compliance
Manufactured from medical-grade fluoropolymer materials, suitable for applications requiring biocompatibility assessment.
