Abstract
The disclosure provides tubes including a blend of two or more polyethylenes. For example, the blend can comprise at least 80% by weight of one or more of LLDPE, LDPE, MDPE, and HDPE, and no more than 20% by weight of UHMWPE. Such tubes can have low average wall thicknesses, e.g., 0.1 mm or less, rendering them suitable for use as catheter liners.
