Specialties/Sub-Assemblies

Laser-Machining

Polyimide tubes can be laser-machined with exacting tolerances to provide unique features including holes, slots, text, or other precision features.

Reflow capabilities

Thermoplastic jackets of single or segmented multiple durometers can be reflowed. Soft atraumatic tips and marker
bands can also be incorporated.

Sub-assemblies

Ability to fabricate sub-assemblies, including strain reliefs, Luer fittings, telescoped tubes, and component bonding.

Micro length trimming

High speed automated ability to accurately trim tubing to lengths as short as 0.020” long.

Coating services

American Durafilm has the ability to coat various wire materials with polyimide, Teflon®, or composites.

Discrete coatings

Our unique discrete coating abilities allow us to coat SS hypo tubes and other cylindrical components with a permanently bonded polyimide, or urethane coating for reusable devices. This process also allows us to produce uniquely shaped polyimide tubes, such as funnels and tapered dispensing tips for example.

Tube shaping

Ability to flare, bell end flare, neck, taper, or shape polyimide tubing to meet specific applications.
