Heat shrinks have multiple purposes in regards to catheter fabrication. It's deal for reflow processing, acting as a tooling aid to shape form. It's also great for providing structural support and protection, making the catheter more resilient to physical stress and environmental factors.

​

Liners can improve the smoothness of the catheter's inner surface, reducing friction and enhancing component tractability and fluid flow.
