Single & Multi-Lumen Specialty Extrusions
TekniPlex Healthcare is capable of producing single-lumen tubes with diameters as small as 0.008 inches and as large as 0.480 inches.
Multiple lumens are commonly used in interventional devices to allow for multiple fluid channels, accommodate multiple small-diameter medical devices, or both. These lumens come in a wide variety of shapes, from circular channels for guide wires to ‘D’ configurations used in peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC lines). TekniPlex Healthcare has produced small catheters with more than 17 lumens.
With decades of experience manufacturing extruded small-diameter medical tubing, we have established an extensive library of mandrels and dies. These can be invaluable for creating rapid prototypes to accelerate time-to-market for medical device customers.
