Polyimide Tubing

Teleflex Medical OEM has manufactured outstanding polyimide tubing for 45+ years. Our tubing offers a unique combination of ductility, strength, and stiffness to provide greater toughness and durability. The tubing withstands repeated changes in bending, pressure, and tension.

Polyimide is a cross-linked thermoset polymer that is comprised of organic compounds that were originally developed and formulated by DuPont®. It is a standard material for high-strength products requiring micro-diameters and ultra-thin walls. Our expertise includes polyimide hybrid tubing; coil-wire, reinforced polyimide tubing; and braid-wire, reinforced polyimide tubing.

Unlike traditional extrusion methods, polyimide tubing, in general, uses a layering process (also known as film casting) to build tube walls. Teleflex Medical OEM uses a continuous, dip-coat process that reduces delamination of the layers.
