Catheter & multi-lumen extrusion
Single- and multi-lumen catheter extrusion process development and continuous improvement. Translating device intent into a stable, scalable line.
Polymer Flow Solutions is a medical extrusion engineering practice. Pebax, PEEK, melt fluoropolymers, custom AM filament. Process development, line design, tooling, install. Collaboration over consulting.
Polymer Flow Solutions was founded by Jonathan Jurgaitis after thirty-plus years at the front of medical and industrial extrusion. Every role pointed at the same conclusion: the hardest problems get solved when experience moves freely between people.
Foundation in polymer extrusion processes, properties, and specifications. Custom extruded profiles and pipe. Plant management and sales rounded out the operator-side training.
A new polymer vocabulary. Correlating unfamiliar materials with familiar processes. High-temperature extrusion mastered across medical, aerospace, and additive manufacturing — earning industry recognition.
Launched standardized French-scale catheter tubing; AM FFF filaments for medical prototyping; developed the process to fully crystallize PEEK tubing during extrusion. Published as white papers and conference talks.
Oversaw the implementation of new extrusion processes at multiple locations. Cross-site facilities planning, machinery installation, and process initiation.
An independent practice built on a single idea: that the medical extrusion industry advances faster when expertise is shared. Working alongside processors and visionaries to improve, innovate, teach, and progress the extrusion process.
Where the polymer is exotic, the temperatures are punishing, and the spec sheet is unforgiving — that is the baseline.
Single- and multi-lumen catheter extrusion process development and continuous improvement. Translating device intent into a stable, scalable line.
PEEK, PEI, Sulfones and the materials most shops avoid. In-line crystallization and stress-relieving — the capability set we spent twenty years building.
FEP, PFA, ETFE for heat shrink, jacketing, engineered tubing. Process know-how across the melt-fluoro family — and when paste-PTFE is the right answer instead.
Pebax, TPU, highly crystalline materials, engineered polymers for delivery systems. Material-to-process correlation — especially around substitution and supply.
Specification and design of extrusion lines — specialized upstream, downstream, secondary equipment. Tooling, fixturing, machinery modification, cross-site PM.
Medical and engineering AM filament with radiopaque, color, and reinforcement additives. The compounding and dimensional discipline of medical extrusion, brought to FFF.
