Catheter and Guide wire
Fluoro materials improve the operability of the catheter and guide wire. The guide wire is coated with fluoro paint, which improves the sliding operation, and fluoropolymer tubes are used for the innermost layer of the catheter.
Catheter inner tube
Required characteristics
- Flexibility
- Lubricity
- Molding processability
Daikin Solutions
Small-bore catheters require low sliding friction when the inner surface contacts the guide wire and mechanical flexibility. Daikin’s Fluoropolymer POLYFLON PTFE satisfies these requirements when used for the inner tube of the catheter.

Guide wire surface coatings
Required characteristics
- Lubricity
- Coating adhesion
Daikin Solutions
Fluoro coatings improve surface characteristics of the guide wire, allowing good sliding properties when a fluoropolymer is used for the inner tube of the catheter.
