Nordson MEDICAL Introduces PolyPeel™: The New Peelable Polyester Heat Shrink Tubing
Salem, New Hampshire – Nordson MEDICAL, a Nordson Company (Nasdaq: NDSN), is proud to introduce PolyPeel™, a patent-pending peelable polyester heat shrink tubing engineered to streamline catheter manufacturing. Designed for speed, precision, and sustainability, PolyPeel™ eliminates the hassle of traditional PET heat shrink removal while protecting delicate medical devices. This innovative tubing offers a PFAS-free alternative to FEP heat shrink, making it ideal for reflow applications for catheter lamination. Its ultra-thin walls and tight ID tolerances enable faster run speeds and reduce scrap rates—without compromising device integrity. Whether used for masking, bundling, or coating, PolyPeel™ simplifies production and enhances performance. “PolyPeel™ helps manufacturers produce better devices faster, with fewer environmental concerns and less waste,” said Gordon Brooks, Senior Principal Product Line Manager at Nordson MEDICAL. “It’s a smarter, cleaner, and more adaptable solution, advancing medical device manufacturing.” Engineered to eliminate skiving, PolyPeel™ reduces risk to the substrate while maintaining consistently high quality across a broad range of catheter product lines. Its peelable design makes operator training easier and minimizes error, supporting scalability when timelines are tight or demand surges. Medical device segments such as electrophysiology, cardiology, neurovascular, and structural heart benefit most from this technology—especially where low-profile, thin-walled tubing is essential. As regulatory and environmental pressures grow, PolyPeel™ offers a future-ready solution that aligns with evolving industry standards. Backed by Nordson MEDICAL’s expertise, PolyPeel™ is available in multiple sizes and configurations to support a wide range of manufacturing needs. Samples are available upon request, and the product will be showcased at Compamed in Germany this November and MD&M West in California this coming February.
