How engineered extrusion helps medical device makers improve device designs and patient experiences

Download the whitepaper here

 

Rapid growth in the medical devices industry and changing patient expectations are leading to significant innovation in hosing and tubing, as medical device manufacturers seek new processes and components to enhance their products.

 

This whitepaper introduces the key factors to be considered in the specification of these extrusions, outlines the material options (focusing on silicone extrusion technologies), and highlights applications with real-life examples from our customers.

Both patients and health care providers are increasingly opting for less invasive medical procedures, which reduce recovery times and duration of hospital stays, leading to lower health care costs and faster healing for the patients. The medical tubing market is also growing due to a surge in demand for single-use or disposable devices because of a growing awareness of hospital-acquired infections. 

In addition to increasing demand, these changes are placing new technical requirements on medical devices and components – and presenting manufacturers with new options for medical tubing. 

Factors to be considered when specifying tubing and hosing include size, hardness, tear strength, elongation, surface friction, transparency, and visibility. Different processing options have led to ground-breaking ways to product tubing, optimizing the performance and useability of medical devices.
