• Medical Heat-Shrink Tubing | TE Connectivity

MT-LWA is a single wall heat-shrinkable tube useful for laser-welding operations. Heat-shrinkable product helps hold joints in place during operation and removes easily without residue or damage to the end product.  

Features & Benefits:

• 2:1 or 3:1 shrink ratios, custom sizes available
• Flexible; forms to irregular shapes
• Good clarity for laser-welding
• Excellent electrical insulation properties
• Removes easily after application, good axial tear propagation
• Fabricated from materials which meet the requirements of US Pharmacopeia VI Plastics. Color shall be clear only
• ASTM D 2617

Applications:

• OEM’s performing hot jaw bonding
• Medical device industry, specifically the catheter manufacturing industry
• Angioplasty devices
• Abrasion protection for laparoscopic instruments an in-vivo diagnostic probes (MT1000, MT3000, MT-PBX)
• Protection & insulation of electrosurgical and laparoscopic instruments (MT2000,MT5000, MT5500, T6000, MT-FEP)
• Protection & insulation of highly flexible joint (MT5500)
• Protection of delicate high value devices (MT-PBX, MT2000)
• Catheter shafts (MT2000, MT-PBX)
• Process Aid/Fusing Sleeves (MT-FEP,MT2000)
• Bonding of dissimilar materials (MT-FEP, MT-PBX, MT-LWA)
• Strain relief (MT1000, MT3000, MT5000, MT5500, MT-PBX)
