Teleflex Medical OEM (Kenosha, WI) has introduced an EFEP co-extrusion that eliminates the need for etching. The co-extrusion offers chemical resistance and high clarity for applications where transparency is important. EFEP (perfluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer) can be co-extruded with polyamide- or PEBA-type materials as an outer layer or tube liner, or laminated over coil- or brain-reinforced assemblies.
