摘要

Putnam Plastics Corp., Dayville, Conn, (putnamplastics.com), has developed new extrusion technology that replaces manually assembled medical guide catheter shafts with a single, three-layer component. Called Tri-Tie, the proprietary process creates a three-layer composite shaft with maximum adhesion between the layers for improved performance without manual assembly.
