The Engineering Design Process Starts With PTFE Natural®

For over 65 years, Applied Plastics has been an industry leader in advanced catheter components including PTFE coated mandrels, pull wires, core wires, stylets and guidewires reaching the world’s hot beds for medical device manufacturing.  Our customers include the leading medical device OEMs and contract manufacturers focused on high-growth microcatheter segments, such as cardiovascular, coronary, electrophysiology (EP), neurovascular, peripheral vascular and structural heart.

We’ve partnered with design engineers for decades to understand their devices end-use application then provide PTFE coated mandrels or wire to meet the devices OD, tolerance and performance requirements while manufacturing tapered dilators, sheaths, and catheters resulting in innovative devices that save lives.

Our engineering team is ready to understand your PTFE coating needs and partner with design engineers during all phases of the engineering design and development phase.

Our customers are designing and developing advanced imaging, access, delivery and closure systems in the below areas:
