Zeus, a global leader in advanced polymer solutions and catheter manufacturing, announced its plans to introduce the StreamLiner NG, the latest addition to the company’s StreamLiner series of ultra-thin-walled catheter liners. The company will unveil this next week at MD&M West trade show in Anaheim, California.

The StreamLiner NG catheter liners are Zeus’ most flexible liners, ideal for traversing the most complex vasculatures, such as those below the knee and above the neck, to deliver critical therapies. They are designed with the company’s proprietary film-cast process, which improves consistency when compared to existing film-cast liners. This process helped reduce imperfections and pinholes. 

“For years, the Zeus StreamLiner series has set the standard for ultra-thin-walled, high-performance PTFE catheter liners,” noted Suresh Sainath, Chief Technology Officer at Zeus. “Now, we’re adding to this incredible product portfolio by introducing our first film-cast offering to the PTFE StreamLiner family, one that will raise the bar for what engineers can expect in performance from film-cast liners.”

“Our new StreamLiner NG liners are a testament to our continued drive to help solve market challenges and enable our partners to innovate without compromise,” said Paddy O’Brien, Chief Executive Officer at Zeus. “The past several months have been transformative for our company as we’ve continued to build momentum, push the boundaries of innovation, and redefine what’s possible. I’m energized by the progress we’ve made and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead as we shape the future of catheter design.”

Zeus’ StreamLiner NG is the latest addition to the StreamLiner series of ultra-thin PTFE catheter liners with max wall thicknesses of 0.001″ (0.025 mm) and below.

“Given the flexibility film-cast liners provide, engineers prefer them for certain applications but face performance challenges due to surface imperfections and pinholes,” Suresh added. “Our new film-cast liner is the solution. By reducing surface imperfections and pinholes, StreamLiner NG can navigate the most tortuous paths and deliver superior strength and performance, significantly reducing these challenges.”
