Fine braids

Endoscope tubes, textile braids for laboratory tubes

Surgical procedures and revisions in hard-to-reach areas continually require a miniaturization of the equipment used.
In medical applications, not only the bending radius and high torsional strenth are crucial. Equally important are reliable tensile and compressive strength as well as a balance between flexibility and dimensional stability to ensure safe handling, even in complex situations. Thin wall thickness supports miniaturization, while consistently reliable leak tightness ensures the smooth transport of gases or liquids.

For this application, we have been producing fine braids for over 40 years, which are used in technical or medical endoscopes.
