SuperFlex™
Endoscopic Wire-reinforced Channels
International Polymer
Engineering's Wire-Reinforced Endoscopic Working Channels
(EWC) are constructed with an inner layer of solid PTFE while
the outer layer is a porous PTFE with a stainless steel ribbon
spiral support incorporated into the wall structure for additional
radial support. The outer PTFE layer and the stainless steel
ribbon act like a spring wrap providing kink and compression
resistance.
The inherent lubricity
of the PTFE inner layer allows instruments to pass freely
with minimal drag. Both the inner and outer layer of material
has a long history of use in medical applications and has
a Class VI implant rating. The finished channels maintain
integrity throughout sterilization procedures and allow flex
angles up to 210 degrees. Click
