Junkosha, a world leader in high-tech fluoropolymer solutions, is introducing its newest medical tubing product, the Clear Peelable Heat Shrink Tubing (CPHST), at Medical Technology Ireland 2025. This new product is designed to support the next generation of catheter manufacturing, offering both enhanced optical clarity and reduced removal. This is beneficial to the manufacturer in providing better assembly efficiency and consistency in performance.

The company increased its production capacity three times by 2021-25, doubling the production of its PHST and Etched PTFE Liner lines. The long-term investment strategy of Junkosha is an indication of its vision to be more than just a supplier; the company stands as a strategic partner in the development of interventional devices technology. The tubing enables the reflow process to be simple by allowing for removal with just a small cut on one side. Thus, no extra procedures are required, such as skiving. This not only reduces the overall cost of ownership for manufacturers but also enhances operator ergonomics, yields, and throughput.

Junkosha will showcase its entire range of medical tubing solutions in its booth at the Galway show. These consist of current PHST products and Etched PTFE Liners that are used in a wide range of interventional applications. With this unlimited palette, Junkosha delivers to OEMs a reliable collaborator that can fulfil the demands of the MedTech sector, which is evolving and growing more complex. Furthermore, by working in tandem with the industry in its R&D activities, Junkosha ensures that its products remain relevant and meaningful over the coming years.

Caroline Herdman, Global Product Specialist, Junkosha:

“As minimally invasive procedures become more sophisticated, catheter designs are becoming increasingly complex, often incorporating multiple materials and reinforcements.
