Open tips
PlasticWeld’s proprietary HPS series induction tip formers are used to make precisely-shaped, tight-tolerance formed tips with open ends for various types of catheters including wound and drainage catheters, IV infusion catheters, dilator sheaths, angioplasty catheters, and many more. Specially designed forming tools contour the OD and tip of your tubing while maintaining a clean through-hole.

Tight tolerances, smooth surfaces, no flash, reliable & efficient production… getting maximum performance from your device starts with using high quality production tipping equipment – from PlasticWeld Systems, Inc.

Specifications

• Tube size range 1 fr up to 60 fr (0.013” OD up to 0.780” OD)
• Maximum formed tip length: 1” – dependent on polymer and tube size
• Polymers: PVC, PTFE, PA, PP, PE, PEEK, EVA, PU

 

Closed tips
PlasticWeld’s proprietary HPS series induction tip formers are used to make precisely-shaped, tight-tolerance formed ends for various types of catheters including drainage tubes, irrigation tubes, suction catheters and others. Specially designed forming tools contour the OD and tip of your tubing to form a smooth, flash-free sealed end.

Soft tips
PlasticWeld’s proprietary HPS series induction tip formers are used to bond soft tip tubing onto the main catheter tubing. Specially designed forming tools bond the tubes together while contouring the OD and tip of the tubing to match your desired configuration. Both open and closed ends can be formed.
