ARK-BioPEEK Medical-grade Capillary
Biomaterial PEEK capillaries are small, thin tubes made of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) material that are specifically designed for use in biomedical applications. They are biocompatible, meaning they do not cause any adverse reactions when implanted in the body, and are commonly used in medical devices such as catheters and implants. PEEK capillaries are known for their high strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals and heat, making them an ideal choice for biomedical applications where reliability and performance are critical.
Key Features of PEEK Capillary:
• Ultra hard material
• Very good chemical resistance
• Stable at temperatures up to 228°C
• Excellent abrasion resistance
• Flame retardant (UL94 V-0)
• Very tight dimensional tolerances
PEEK Tubing:
• In coils, on spools or straight lengths with clean, square cuts
• Translucent or Opaque
• Wall thickness varying along length (Bumped tubing)
• Coloured PEEK tubing
• Multi-Layer PEEK tubing
• Reinforced PEEK tubing (Stainless Steel Wires)
• Shaped tubing
