Zeus Industrial Products Inc. (“Zeus”) today announces the launch of their new PTFE Sub-Lite-Wall® Streamliner™ series. Sub-Lite-Wall® is part of the Zeus family of extremely thin-walled extrusions (below 0.005”/0.127 mm) and the StreamLiner series represents the latest breakthrough in the company’s already best-in-class catheter liner. The new product line enables even greater advancements in catheter design aimed at improving patient care and clinical outcomes.
Zeus Sub-Lite-Wall® StreamLiner™ XT tubing is the first offering in the StreamLiner™ series, featuring an impressive maximum wall thickness of 0.00075” (0.01905 mm). The new liner features Zeus’ LoPro™ technology, leveraging over 50 years of experience in developing state-of-the-art polymer manufacturing processes to achieve the thinnest extruded components in the industry.
Zeus customers have leveraged the unsurpassed capability of our Sub-Lite-Wall products for decades of catheter design and development, from guide sheaths for varying flexibility and strength down to the smallest microcatheter. The StreamLiner series goes a step further in that the products enable device engineers to increase catheter lumen space and effectively lower the overall profile of the device. This makes it an exciting addition to a portfolio of design options for next-generation minimally invasive therapies.
Bob Jennings, senior vice president of medical sales and marketing at Zeus.
As a free extrusion, Zeus Sub-Lite-Wall® Streamliner™ XT also affords a stronger and more robust catheter liner with reduced deployment force compared to liners made using a dip-coated process.
