Pioneer in advanced fluoropolymer technology Junkosha, launched its new Hybrid Channel Tubing solution for endoscopic guide instruments at COMPAMED 2025 in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Designed to meet increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, Junkosha says this new tubing solution combines high durability with superior flexibility by blending the unique properties of PTFE with the enhanced flexibility of expanded PTFE.
Junkosha Hybrid Channel Tubing features a PTFE inner layer for excellent airtightness and lubricity, and an expanded PTFE outer layer that enhances flexibility and resistance to kinking, even at tight bending radii. This two-layer design maintains the inner lumen diameter and burst resistance which reduces the risk of external pressure-induced collapse.
“At Junkosha our mission is to continually advance the boundaries of extrusion technology for PTFE processing to meet the evolving needs of medical device manufacturers”, explains Mike Winterling, Chief Operating Officer at Junkosha USA Inc. “The launch of our Hybrid Channel Tubing underscores our commitment to offering a broader range of solutions while maintaining our longstanding technological expertise related to product performance, quality and reliability. We look forward to introducing this new product at this year’s COMPAMED as well as inviting attendees to our booth to discuss their unmet needs”.
