Braid reinforced tubing is reinforced with a braided layer of metal or polymer fibers encapsulated between two layers of polymer material. This design provides additional durability, strength, and rotational flexibility to the tubing, allowing it to withstand higher pressures and improving its overall performance in various medical applications.

 

Braided tubing is commonly used in high-performance catheters, such as those used for vascular access and cardiovascular procedures, as well as in high-pressure medical tubing applications, such as in infusion pumps and blood pressure monitoring systems. It is also used in kink-resistant tubing, which is important for procedures where the tubing may need to bend or flex without becoming blocked or collapsing.

Benefits & Applications
What are the applications and advantages for Braided Reinforced Tubing in medical procedures?

01 Applications

▶ Braided catheter tubing can be used in advanced catheter delivery systems, flexible catheter steering assemblies, high-pressure catheter tubing, durable catheter sheaths, and precision stent delivery devices. For example, vascular access, cardiovascular procedures, infusion pumps, blood pressure monitoring, endoscopy, and urology.

02 What is the advantages to using braided catheter tubing over non-braided tubing?

▶ Improved strength and durability: The braided layer provides additional reinforcement and helps to improve the overall strength and durability of the tubing, making it less likely to break or rupture during use.

 

▶ Higher burst pressure resistance: The braided layer helps to increase the burst pressure resistance of the tubing, making it suitable for use in high-pressure applications.

 

▶ Improved column strength: The braided layer also helps to improve the column strength of the tubing, which is important for procedures where the tubing needs to maintain its shape during insertion and manipulation within the body.

 

▶ Increased torque transmission: The braided layer can also help to increase the torque transmission of the tubing, which is important for procedures where the tubing needs to be rotated or twisted during use.

 

▶ Kink resistance: The braided layer helps to prevent the tubing from kinking or collapsing during use, which is important for procedures where the tubing needs to bend or flex without becoming blocked.
