Hypotubes

Hypotubes

E-PRO HYPOTUBES

E-Pro™ is an advanced metallurgical solution offering superior kink resistance over traditional ‘304 stainless steel’, improving navigation through tortuous anatomies. In thin walled tube applications, E-Pro’s high kink resistance allows for larger internal diameters thus delivering reduced deflation times and improved product performance.
