PTFE tubing plays a big role in both medical devices and high-performance electronics. At Micro-Tek Corp., we focus on custom PTFE tubing that delivers consistent performance where precision is required. With decades of experience in fine wire, cable assembly, and fluoropolymer extrusion, we support customers who need tubing that performs well under heat, chemicals, and demanding environments. Everything is made in the USA in our ISO 9001:2015 certified facility, so quality is built into each step of production.

Why PTFE Tubing?

PTFE has become a trusted choice for engineers and OEMs for very clear reasons:

  • It handles high temperatures up to about 500°F without breaking down
  • Its chemical resistance makes it suitable for harsh fluids and sterilization
  • It has the highest lubricity of any available plastic on the market, which is important in devices where smooth internal passage matters
  • It gives excellent dielectric strength for electrical and communication applications
  • It remains flexible in both medical and electronics assemblies

These benefits make PTFE a strong match for medical tubing applications.

PTFE Medical Tubing Applications

Medical device companies often need thin-wall tubing that performs well inside the body and equipment. Micro-Tek delivers PTFE medical tubing that fits these needs. Our tubing supports applications such as:

  • Surface etched catheter liners for vascular and minimally invasive procedures
  • Tubing for infusion pumps and drug delivery
  • Ventilator and respiratory equipment
  • Scopes and endoscopy systems
  • Introducer sheaths for medical devices

We produce tubing with outside diameters as small as 0.012″ and wall thickness down to about 0.0010″. The smooth internal surface helps guidewires move freely and reduces friction for the clinician and patient. Biocompatibility and sterilization compatibility make PTFE medical tubing a reliable choice for demanding devices.

PTFE Coaxial Core for Communication Systems

PTFE also plays an important role in electronics. We produce PTFE coaxial core and tubing used in high-frequency communication systems. The material’s strong dielectric properties help maintain signal integrity, while tight tolerance control supports consistent impedance. This level of performance is important for:

  • Aerospace communication equipment
  • Defense and remote sensing cables
  • Industrial testing and data systems
  • Miniature coax assemblies where space is limited

Since we also draw fine wire and braid shielding in-house, we can work with customers who need a full coaxial construction approach and compatibility between tubing and cable components.

Custom Production and Engineering Support

Every project has different requirements, and our team works directly with engineers to produce the tubing they specify. We support a wide range of custom needs:

  • Ultra-thin walls and micro diameters
  • Single-layer and multi-layer tube structures
  • PTFE, FEP, ETFE, and PFA fluoropolymer materials
  • Prototypes and short production runs available
  • Consistent monitoring and documentation for quality-critical parts

Our goal is clear: give you tubing that performs well in your final product, without unnecessary delays or over-complication.

Industries We Serve

We serve multiple markets that rely on proven performance material:

PTFE tubing supports doctors saving lives and technicians keeping critical systems running. The range of uses continues to grow as designs get smaller, lighter, and more advanced.
