Braiding

• What Is Braiding Processing? 

Braiding processing is a manufacturing technique used in the production of braided catheters. It involves interlacing multiple strands of wire or fiber in a diagonal pattern to create a strong and flexible tube-like structure.

The use of braid reinforced tubing can enhance functional characteristics such as strength, stiffness, burst pressure resistance, torque transmission, and kink resistance. The performance of catheters can be significantly influenced by design factors such as the braid pattern, pick count (ppi), material composition, wire dimensions, wire size/shape, and plastic durometer.
