What materials and processes are used for bending sheath replacement?
IMS uses a more expensive fluoroelastomer (Viton®) bending sheath replacement. This is the same material used by the OEMs, and its use ensures that the angulation performance is the same as the OEM performance. Bending sheath size specifications are comparable in length and wall thickness to the original manufacturer’s components. Bending sheath epoxy is USP Class VI, measured precisely to the epoxy manufacturer specifications, including weighing components to 1/100th of a gram prior to mixing.
