<p>A fluoropolymeric thinwall catheter liner of tape-wrapped construction is described, as well as a catheter tube comprising said catheter liner and a method of making such a catheter liner. By wrapping a tape of a thin fluoropolymer around a mandrel to form a tube it is possible to produce a fluoropolymeric catheter liner of thinner wall than has been previously possible with tube extrusion techniques. A thinner wall allows an increase in the carrying capacity of any catheter of given outside diameter, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the catheter.</p> |
