Junkosha has chosen MD&M West in Anaheim CA, this week to launch an expanded range of its etched PTFE catheter liners to support the evolving needs of the peripheral vascular market. The company now offers etched PTFE liners with inner diameters up to 0.2 in. (5 mm) to enable the development of larger-profile device delivery systems. Alongside this latest product, Junkosha is also displaying thin-wall etched PTFE liners with wall thicknesses as thin as 0.00075 in. (19 ยตm) and peelable heat-hrink tubing in booth 1867 at the event at the Anaheim Convention Center.
New etched PTFE liner range draws on 70+ years of expertise
Drawing on more than 70 years of expertise in fluoropolymer application technologies, Junkosha’s latest addition to its etched PTFE liner range supports the growing use of medical devices for catheter-based treatments of stenosis and occlusion, including drug-coated balloon angioplasty, stent and stent graft deployment, thrombectomy, and atheroma removal. These procedures are commonly used in the treatment of conditions such as peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a trend that is accelerating adoption in both emergency and elective care settings where device reliability and controlled deployment are critical to clinical success, said Junkosha.
Etched PTFE liners play a key role within delivery systems, enabling smooth device tracking and the safe, predictable deployment of stents and stent grafts within complex vascular anatomy,” explained PTFE Liner Product Specialist Yohei Washiyama.
Alongside larger sized etched PTFE liners, Junkosha’s thin-wall liners expand the company’s capabilities, enabling catheter designs with either a larger lumen diameter or a slimmer outer profile, thereby providing greater design freedom for multilumen catheters and other complex configurations.
Catheter liners on show at MD&M West Junkosha is exhibiting these and other products at booth 1867 at MD&M West, a comprehensive manufacturing-focused trade show and conference for the medical technology, plastics, packaging, and automation sectors. It runs from Feb. 3 to 5, 2026, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA.
Junkosha applies fluoropolymer technology across various sectors including semiconductor manufacturing, microwave interconnect, and medical devices. With three operations in Japan, including its headquarters, as well as sites in the US, UK, and China, Junkosha’s wire and cable products include microwave interconnects, robot cables, high data rate cables, camera link cable assemblies, ultrafine coaxial cables and assemblies, cables for clean environments, and general wires and cables. Junkosha also offers a variety of tube and fitting products.
