Catheter braids are used for reinforcement by our customers that are using catheter reflow technology to manufacture catheter tubing. Variable pick braiding can also be supplied.
Textile Braids
Commonly applied over Litz wire and formed cables constructions to provide protection from abrasion, textile braids can be manufactured from various textiles such as nylon, polyester, cotton, and aramid.
Monofilament Braids
Plastic monofilament braids are used to produce low-capacitance, high-end audio cables and for mechanical protection of multi-conductor cables in lieu of an extruded jacket. Monofilament braids are also used to reinforce medical tubing products used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) applications.
Type 7 Litz Wire
These litz wire constructions feature individually insulated wires braided together and formed into a rectangular profile. These constructions can be provided with an outer insulation of textile yarn, tape, and single or multiple-layers of extruded compounds. Learn more about Type 7 Litz constructions here.
