Zebra Spiral Heat Shrink Tube

Product Description：

KMT-PTFE Zebra (spiral) heat shrink cannulae are used to shrink guide wires for flexible endoscopic devices. The unique colour pattern indicates the movement of the wire to assist the surgeon in the procedure. Due to the low friction properties of PTFE, the Zebra (spiral) heat shrink has exceptional colouring capabilities. We offer shrinkage ratios of up to 4:1

KMT-PTFE zebra (spiral) heat shrink cannulas can be sterilised using Eto or autoclave. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is also an excellent electrical insulator with a temperature range from -200°C to +260°C. Recovery temperature is 340°C +/- 5°C and recovery time varies depending on the design.
