Superior Tubing Components in Life-Saving Medical Device Improve Patient Outcomes

Enhancing Safety and Quality in Breast Biopsy Devices

A leading manufacturer of breast biopsy devices faced critical quality control challenges with its paratubing supplier, resulting in costly production delays and significant safety concerns. The tubing configuration used in these devices was plagued by inconsistent bond strength and dimensional tolerances, leading to product rejects from medical professionals and jeopardizing patient safety during vital procedures. With a commitment to quality and a vertically integrated supply chain, TekniPlex Healthcare developed a new paratubing solution that ensured consistent bond strengths between 0.22 and 1.5 pounds of pull force. This improvement significantly reduced pre-operative device rejects, enhanced patient safety, and lowered manufacturing costs by minimizing waste and streamlining inspection processes.
