Duke Extrusion - Coil Reinforced Medical Tubing for Catheters
Coil reinforced tubing, essential in medical device applications, is designed to enhance various mechanical properties such as kink resistance, pressure holding, and burst strength. Duke Extrusion specializes in offering these tubes primarily for catheter manufacturing and other medical uses. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, the company produces coil reinforced composite tubes, which are commonly used in irrigation cannulas and catheters. The tubing can feature variable pitches per inch (PPI) along its length to facilitate the integration of ports or the passage of other devices through its wall. Options for coil filament composition include materials like stainless steel, nitinol, and carbon fiber, among others, allowing for customization based on application needs. Duke Extrusion supports clients through every stage of tube development, ensuring optimal material selection and design, thereby providing a tailored solution to meet specific application requirements. Their rapid shipping and custom services further cater to industry demands for quick and efficient solutions.
Coil reinforcement can improve kink resistance, pressure holding, burst strength, and other properties of medical device tubing. Duke Extrusion offers coil reinforced tube for catheter manufacturer applications and other medical uses. We can help you develop the ideal coil reinforced tube for your needs through material recommendations and design assistance.
We utilize state-of-the-art custom equipment to produce coil reinforced composite tube. Common in irrigation cannulas and catheters, Pic-per-inch (PPI) can be varied along the length of the tube, providing access points for ports or the introduction of other devices through the wall of the tubing.
Coil Filaments Composition of Top Materials
Coil filaments can be composed of materials including stainless steel, nitinol, Kevlar, PEEK, fiberglass, carbon fiber, PET, platinum, iridium, tungsten, ultra-high weight molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE), and others.
Coil filament geometries can include ribbon, round, or flat. Single or multi-filament coils can be used. Duke Extrusion will help you determine the best material, the best geometry, and the best coil layout for your medical device tubing application. See our coiling page for more information.
Our coil reinforced composite tube manufacturing capabilities can be combined with hole punching for greater accessibility and PTFE liners for improved interior lubricity.
Coil reinforced composite tube offers performance similar to braid reinforced tubing and laser-cut hypotube. Each method provides advantages that may make it more suitable for your application. Duke can recommend the best reinforcement method for your needs, with consideration to performance, cost, and other factors.
