 2.2 Material & General Properties

Base Material: 100% Virgin PEEK Resin (ARKPEEK-MED® Medical Grade)

Density: ~1.30 g/cm³

Color: Natural (amber/translucent), Black, or custom colors (e.g., Blue for differentiation)

Radiopacity: Can be compounded with safe radiopaque fillers (e.g., Barium Sulfate) for X-ray visibility.

 

3. Key Features & Medical Application Benefits

ARKPEEK-MED® tubing is designed to meet the stringent demands of the medical field:

Proven Biocompatibility & Compliance:

The material complies with ISO 10993 biological evaluation standards, passing tests for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation.

Suitable for long-term and short-term human contact in medical devices.

Superior Chemical Inertia & Sterilization Resistance:

Inert to most chemicals, including common disinfectants and bodily fluids.

Autoclavable (Steam Sterilizable) and compatible with all standard sterilization methods: Gamma Radiation, Ethylene Oxide (EtO), and Electron Beam.

Excellent Mechanical Performance for Medical Devices:

High Strength & Stiffness: Maintains structural integrity under pressure and mechanical load, even with thin walls.

Outstanding Flexibility & Kink Resistance: Can navigate complex anatomical paths without collapsing.

Fatigue Resistance: Withstands repeated flexing and manipulation, crucial for dynamic surgical tools.

Inherent MRI Compatibility:

PEEK is non-magnetic and non-conductive, eliminating risks of magnetic attraction or induced currents in MRI environments.

Causes minimal image artifact, ensuring clear and accurate MRI scans—a critical advantage over metal components.

Precision Fluid Handling:

Smooth inner bore minimizes fluid resistance, reduces protein adhesion, and lowers the risk of thrombus formation.

Consistent dimensions ensure predictable and reliable fluid flow rates.

  

4. Target Applications

This tubing is primarily used in high-performance, minimally invasive medical devices:

Endoscopic Instruments: Biopsy channel tubes, air/water supply tubes, light guide sheaths.

Interventional Catheters: Microcatheters, guide catheters, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Tools: Steerable sheaths, laparoscopic instrument components.

Precision Drug Delivery & Infusion Systems.

Fluid Management in Diagnostic & Laboratory Equipment.

 

5. Customization & Ordering

We offer comprehensive customization to meet unique device requirements:

Dimensional Customization: Precise control over OD, ID, wall thickness, and length.

Performance Customization: Tailored flexibility, radiopacity levels, or surface properties.

Secondary Processing: Precision cutting, tipping, marking, and assembly services available.

Technical Support: Our engineering team can assist with material selection and design optimization.

 

Ordering Process:

Provide detailed specifications or drawings.

We evaluate and provide a technical proposal and quotation.

Upon confirmation, a contract is signed, and sample production begins.

After sample validation, bulk production and delivery are scheduled.
