Zeus Unveils Next-Generation StreamLiner™ NG Catheter Liners for Superior Flexibility
StreamLiner™ NG: A Revolution in Catheter Liners by Zeus
As the medical industry evolves, so does the demand for advanced technologies that enhance patient care. In this spirit, Zeus, a prominent name in polymer solutions and catheter manufacturing, is prepared to unveil its latest innovation: the StreamLiner™ NG catheter liners. Set to be introduced at the upcoming MDM West trade show in Anaheim, California, at booth #3001, these ultra-thin-walled liners promise to redefine performance standards in the market.
The Pioneering Design of StreamLiner™ NG
The introduction of StreamLiner NG marks a significant advancement in Zeus' long-standing tradition of excellence in catheter liner design. According to Suresh Sainath, CTO of Zeus, this new line represents the brand's first venture into the film-cast PTFE technology within its StreamLiner series, crafted specifically to enhance reliability and performance.
Using a proprietary film-cast manufacturing process, the StreamLiner NG displays significant improvements in consistency when compared to conventional film-cast liners. This technological leap means a reduction in common defects, including surface imperfections and pinholes, which are often seen in other products on the market.
The result is an ultra-thin liner that not only offers enhanced flexibility but also outstanding mechanical performance, meeting the stringent demands of complex vascular environments. The liners are designed to navigate intricate pathways in the body, particularly in sensitive areas like those found below the knee and above the neck.
Addressing Industry Challenges
Engineers seeking flexibility in catheter applications have traditionally favored film-cast liners. However, they have often struggled with performance-related issues due to surface flaws. The new StreamLiner NG aims to eradicate these challenges. By significantly reducing imperfections and enhancing durability, the product promises to facilitate seamless navigation in even the most challenging anatomical pathways.
Paddy O'Brien, CEO of Zeus, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the company's commitment to innovation in addressing market hurdles.
