Interface Catheter Solutions has expanded its manufacturing capacity to continue to provide high-quality, custom welding sleeves. This service complements the company’s expertise in designing and producing tube welding machines along with balloon tubing, balloon development and production. The welding sleeves are customized based on tubing material, diameter and wall thickness.
Interface welding sleeves are made of heat shrink tubing (Polyolefin and Teflon®) customized to help form and shape the bond along with creating a smooth transition between the two thermally bonded materials. The heat shrink tubing has resistance to high temperatures so that it will not melt during the welding process. The welding sleeves are clear so that an operator is able to view when the tubes have been fused together. The sleeves also have custom slits that allow for easy removal.
