The Origin Story of Pebax® Heat Shrink Tubing

Traditional reflow processes--including heating, removing, reheating, and applying--are dated. Our team of polymer scientists thought, hey, there must be a better way. Turns out there is, and we have it ready for you to try today. Simplify your R&D efforts, improve your device capabilities, and use a supplier you can trust to grow with you. 

Inventors of cobalt heat shrink tubing in a laboratory thinking of a better way to add a polymer heat shrink tubing to catheter shaft.
Inventor 1 asking inventor 2 if they can just add heat to the heat shrink tubing to add the jacket to the catheter shaft. They are determined to create a simple reflow process and create the perfect medical-grade polymer heat shrink tubing.
Inventor 2 stating they just want to use one application of heat and one piece of heat shrink tubing to apply the polymer on the catheter shaft. One step reflow process.
Inventor 2 stating they should also have multiple durometers, different shrink ratios, multiple wall thicknesses, widely accepted in medical devices.
Inventor 1 finding out that pebax is the only heat shrink tubing that will work with this process. Pebax heat shrink tubing is available in many durometers and wall thicknesses.
