Flaring
Precision Medical Tubing Services Flaring involves the precise modification of medical-grade tubing materials to create flares and expansions. The composition of the tubing used in this process varies depending on the specific requirements of the medical device and the application. Typically, medical tubing is made from biocompatible polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), silicone, or thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). These materials are selected for their flexibility, durability, and compatibility with bodily fluids and tissues.
- Flare Types: Our precision flaring services support a variety of flare types, including single flares, double flares, and bell-mouth flares, among others. We can create flares with precise dimensions and angles to suit your application needs.
- Tubing Compatibility: Our flaring services are compatible with a wide range of medical-grade tubing materials, including polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), silicone, and more. We ensure that the flaring process maintains the integrity and properties of the tubing material, preserving biocompatibility and performance.
- Tolerance and Accuracy: Demax maintains tight tolerances and high levels of accuracy in the flaring process, ensuring that the dimensions and geometry of the flares are consistent and precise. Our advanced equipment and quality control measures guarantee uniformity and reliability in flared medical tubing.
- Catheters: Flared medical tubing is commonly used in catheter assemblies to facilitate smooth insertion, navigation, and fluid delivery within the body’s natural cavities.
- Endoscopic Devices: Flared tubing is utilized in endoscopic instruments for improved maneuverability, visualization, and control during minimally invasive procedures.
- Infusion Sets: Flared tubing is employed in infusion sets to ensure secure connections between tubing components, minimizing leakage and enhancing fluid delivery accuracy.
- Respiratory Devices: Flared tubing is used in respiratory devices, such as oxygen masks and nasal cannulas, to provide a comfortable and secure fit for patients, optimizing oxygen delivery and respiratory support.

PTFE Liner
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a synthetic fluoropolymer that is used as a liner in catheters due to its unique properties. PTFE has a very low coefficient of friction and is a highly durable material with excellent tensile strength. Catheter liners made of PTFE can withstand the stresses of use in medical devices and resist breaking or tearing.
PTFE is used as a liner in catheters because it provides a smooth, low-friction surface that helps reduce the risk of infection and tissue damage. They are also biocompatible so that most people won’t experience an allergic reaction or any negative response.
