2019 saw the fluoropolymer market reach a value of $7.7 billion. But with unexpected circumstances in 2020, has the industry suffered at all? And what is the current outlook for the fluoropolymer industry?
We answer all of that (and more) right here.
If you’re imagining how a catheter is used, you might wonder if catheter insertion hurts. It usually doesn’t but it can cause some discomfort. In order to minimize any pain or distress of insertion, catheter manufacturers are always looking for new methods and materials that will reduce friction. One material that is being used more often in catheter design is PTFE.
Catheters are often lined with PTFE to reduce friction and to ensure other devices
In the dynamic landscape of modern medicine, technological advancements continuously reshape diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, fostering innovation and improving patient outcomes. Within this realm, the adoption of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) tubing has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing various medical procedures across diverse specialties. Let`s delve into the benefits of FEP and PFA tubing and explore their transformative impact on a specific
General interest in the availability, efficiency and reliability of medical devices has never been so high. As with most things these days, this can be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Close to the core of medical device performance are PTFE tubing and FEP sheets, both of which offers a huge array of medical sector applications. These items are essential in reducing the effects of friction while being able to withstand high heat. It’s a win-win for manufacturers and we here a
According to reports in 2019, the fluoropolymer coatings market was scheduled to enjoy steady growth over the next five years. However, Covid-19 has caused a need to adjust the numbers. The industry is seeing rapid growth due to Covid-19 because medical device manufacturers are having to produce more products at a faster rate. The dielectric properties of fluoropolymers as well as the lubricity and biocompatibility pro
