Med Polyolefin Heat Shrink Tubing – Flexible and Durable for Medical Devices
Component Supply’s Med Polyolefin heat shrink tubing is made from Class VI polyolefin and designed for the demanding requirements of medical device design and manufacturing. Supplied in 5-foot lengths, this highly flexible tubing is thin, soft, pliable, and tough, providing precise protection for wires, cables, and delicate components. Its transparency and superior surface finish allow for easy inspection and integration into complex assemblies.
This tubing features rapid recovery, low longitudinal shrinkage, and high compressive strength, ensuring reliable performance in applications where consistent fit and durability are critical. It also serves as an effective moisture and vapor barrier, protecting sensitive components from environmental exposure while maintaining long-term integrity.
Compatible with Gamma, E-Beam, and EtO sterilization, Med Polyolefin heat shrink tubing offers versatility for a range of medical and laboratory applications. While it is not recommended for autoclaving or repeated use without prior testing, its combination of flexibility, durability, and protective performance makes it a preferred solution for engineers and designers in the medical device industry.
