Expanded Etched PTFE Liner Range for Peripheral Vascular Devices

Peripheral vascular intervention increasingly relies on lower-profile, more trackable delivery systems — and the catheter liner is a critical enabler of both. Junkosha's expanded Etched PTFE Liner portfolio now includes diameters up to 0.2 inches and wall thicknesses as thin as 0.00075 inches, extending the product's reach from coronary and neurovascular applications into the full range of peripheral vascular procedures.\n\nEtched PTFE liners serve a dual function in catheter construction: they provide the lubricious inner surface that allows smooth device delivery, and they form the structural interface between the inner liner and the outer braid or coil reinforcement during catheter extrusion. Junkosha's peel-away construction means the liner is removed cleanly after the outer layers are built up, leaving no adhesive residue and no secondary cleaning steps.\n\nThe expanded diameter range addresses stent graft delivery systems, peripheral balloon catheters, and atherectomy devices where inner lumen size is a key design parameter. The thinner 0.00075-inch wall option reduces profile without compromising tensile strength or peel consistency — two properties where manufacturing variability most often causes catheter assembly scrap.\n\nJunkosha liners are used by medical device OEMs globally. The expanded range is available in Israel through Koto Electronics, with samples and technical data sheets available on request.
