Zeus has introduced a new polymer catheter platform called PFX, along with its first commercial product — the PFX Flex Sub-Lite-Wall, which is a catheter liner engineered to offer performance characteristics similar to traditional PTFE materials while providing greater design flexibility and eliminating the need for certain post-processing steps.

Zeus's platform is intended for medical device manufacturers who design and produce catheters and are seeking alternatives to the long-standing industry standard material (PTFE), which has limitations in terms of bonding and compatibility with certain sterilization methods. The PFX Flex Sub-Lite-Wall liner is designed to bond directly to other thermoplastics without requiring chemical etching, and it can withstand sterilization techniques like gamma and e-beam irradiation. The material is also formulated to provide lubricity and flexibility inherently, without relying on surface coatings that could potentially wear or delaminate.
