Main characteristics of StreamLiner™ Series

StreamLiner™

This is a free-extruded PTFE liner with a maximum wall thickness of 0.001 inches (0.025 mm) or less.
It combines top-class tensile strength with high flexibility, contributing to the development of catheters thinning and improved maneuverability.

StreamLiner™ OTW

StreamLiner™ Over-The-Wire (OTW) is a liner that combines the “ultra-thin” characteristics of the film casting process with the “high strength and flexibility” of a free-extruded PTFE liner.
It offers sufficient strength and flexibility while its wall thickness is extremely thin, as small as 0.0004 inches (0.0102mm).
The StreamLiner™ OTW Catheter Liner makes it possible to design catheters with higher performance and opens up new possibilities for delivering life-saving treatments.

StreamLiner™ NG

StreamLiner™ NG is the latest model in the StreamLiner™ family.
With reduced surface defects and pinholes enabled by Zeus’s proprietary film-casting process, the StreamLiner™ NG catheter liner takes flexibility, mechanical properties, and reliability to an even higher level.
In addition, it retains the excellent dimensional accuracy and tolerances of the conventional StreamLiner™.
