Medical products
Optinova is a true pioneer in extrusion solutions for the global medical device community. Our solutions portfolio, fluoropolymer and thermoplastic, are suitable for many applications, including infusion therapy and minimally invasive delivery devices.
Etched PTFE Liners
Etched PTFE liners are used as a lubricious inner layer ininterventional delivery devices. Optinova offers highly customizable PTFE Liners that are designed to meet your needs.
Manufactured with robust processes, we produce etched PTFE Liners with ultra-thin walls and high batch-to-batchconsistency.
FEP Heat Shrink Tubing
When it comes to heat shrink, reliability isn’t just important, it’s essential. That’s why we recovery-test every batch, so you can trust consistent performance for life-saving devices.
Optinova offers FEP Regular Heat Shrink (from 1.3:1 to 1.6:1 Shrink Ratio), FEP QuickShrink™ tubing and QuickPeel Solution.
Braided Shafts
Optinova’s braided shafts are customized to your design requirements. We offer braided shafts with consistent quality and advanced secondary operations, such as tip-bonding and centerless grinding.
Mandrels
Optinova’s PTFE or Acetal (POM) mandrels are ideal as processing aids in the manufacturing of braided or coil reinforced shafts for interventional and endoscopic delivery devices.
PEBA Outer Jacket Tubing
Our PEBA outer jacket tubing is the final layer that completely encases the internal structure and forms the device’s working surface in contact with tissue or blood.
It plays a critical role in catheter performance—from flexibility and kink resistance to durability and control. With Optinova’s broad range of outer jacket solutions, you can ensure smooth and reliable performance.
Zebra Spiral PTFE Heat Shrink Tubing
Optinova “Zebra” Spiral PTFE Heat Shrink is ideal for insulation and jacketing of guidewires for endoscopic and urological applications. The distinctive spiral “zebra” pattern, enhances visibility and improves operator control during procedures.
Our PTFE heat shrink tubing ensures top-quality performance with customizable shrink ratios from 2:1 up to 4:1.
IV Catheter Tubing
Optinova’s IV Catheter Tubing, made from FEP, PTFE, and TPU, is designed for exceptional flexibility and unmatched patient comfort. Available in clear, multiple-striped, and fully radiopaque options, our tubing meets all standard sizes and can be tailored to your unique specifications.
Complex Extruded Shafts & Components
Optinova offers single- and multi-lumen tubing as well as multi-layer tubing and co-extrusion solutions.
ePTFE Tubing and Profiles
Optinova’s ePTFE tubing shares most of the exceptional attributes of PTFE tubing but stands out thanks to its unique properties for applications requiring porosity.
Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) Lead Tubing
Optinova’s CRM lead tubing components are used as protective, insulating jacketing in long term pacemaker and defibrillation leads.
Balloon Tubing
Optinova offers high-quality extrusion tubing that exhibits superior concentricity and elongation properties, as well as consistent wall thickness to allow you to make superior balloon tubing.
Balloon and Stent Protectors
Optinova offers high-quality extrusion tubing that exhibits superior concentricity and elongation properties, as well as consistent wall thickness to allow you to make superior balloon and stent protectors.
Industrial products
By combining unique fluoropolymer properties with advanced production processes, we provide our customers with high-quality, customizable tubing solutions for a variety of industrial applications. Our industrial tubing is designed to handle fluid and gas in the most challenging environments.
PFA Semicon Solutions
Optinova SEMICON solutions are best suited to offer high quality tubing for critical processes within semiconductor manufacturing. Where ever high purity PFA tubing is required for the transport of aggressive chemicals or ultra-pure water, our high quality tubing is suitable to do the work
Fluoropolymer Tubing
Optinova can extrude a variety of fluoropolymers, including PTFE, FEP, PFA, ETFE, and PVDF. By combining unique material properties with advanced production processes, we offer customers high-quality, customizable tubing solutions.
PTFE HD Liner
PTFE HD Liner has high abrasion resistance and anti-friction properties to eliminate “stick-slip”. PTFE HD Liner has an efficiency rate above 90% even after over 1 mil cycles with a 25lb load.
Dual Layer Tubing
Dual Layer Tubing consists of an inner and outer layer, i.e. liner and jacket. Various resins can be used for both layers to achieve unique material properties. Our tubing can be made FDA compliant.
PTFE Dielectric Coaxial Core
PTFE Dielectric Coaxial Core can be ordered at extraordinary lengths thanks to our newest ultra-long extruders. The tubing stands out for its excellent dielectric performance and dimensional control.
Industrial Heat Shrink Solutions
Optinova’s heat shrink tubing solutions are the optimum method to offer a protective jacket for applications in extreme environments of heat, corrosion, shock and moisture.
Delitube™ Food, Nutrition and Beverage Tubing
Delitube™ is Optinova’s exclusive product line for the food and beverage processing industry. Delitube™ is our quest to support business partners to focus on your core nutritious, delicious business.
Coltex™ ePTFE Joint Sealant and ePTFE Tubing
Coltex™ offers the unique properties of PTFE in a soft yet durable sealing product. It is versatile in its ability to conform to irregular sealing surfaces with high loads of pressure.
FEP Coil
FEP Coil is used in water purification, food production, liquid dispenser and other applications. The coiling technique allows for a large volume of water to be circulated close to the UV bulb.
