Proterial Cable America High Performance Medical Solutions (PCA-HPMS) offers highly customizable medical tubing extrusion solutions designed for the stringent requirements of today’s medical device applications. Whether your objective is greater flexibility, improved durability, or tighter dimensional control, we create purpose-built medical extrusions that align with the specific performance requirements of each application.
HPMS offers custom extrusions using a wide range of high-performance materials. Our extrusion methods deliver high-performance characteristics, tight tolerances, and consistent dimensions tailored to each use case. Each material is chosen for its unique properties and alignment for medical applications.
We produce multi-lumen extrusions with precise inner and outer diameters. We offer up to 24 lumens per tube and up to three layers. Designed to support straightforward and complex design configurations, our multi-lumen tubing is available in multiple materials and can incorporate up to three taper transitions.
Our high-pressure braided tubing, also known as reinforced tubing, improves kink resistance, strength, precise fluid management, and torque of an extruded tube while maintaining flexibility and structural integrity. With advanced braiding technology, we ensure durability under pressure without compromising the pliability needed for complex medical procedures.
Our reinforcement methods and expertise allow us to produce tubing with excellent tensile strength, resistance to pressure-related deformation, and highly uniform dimensions. By combining high-performance materials and customized braiding configurations, we provide solutions engineered to provide enhanced functionality for specific medical device requirements.
Our braided tubing injection lines are designed for controlled pressure fluid delivery. Reinforced for added strength and kink resistance, they enable steady fluid flow and precise injection performance throughout medical procedures.
At PCA-HPMS, we produce precision core mandrels that serve as internal supports during the manufacturing of braid- or coil-reinforced catheter tubing. These mandrels help maintain the tubing’s inner diameter and overall structural integrity throughout extrusion and reinforcement processes. By manufacturing mandrels in-house, we uphold strict control over surface finish and dimensional accuracy, ensuring reliable performance, compatibility with complex catheter designs, and tight tolerances. Our core mandrels are fully customizable to support a broad range of medical extrusion needs, ensuring high-performance, minimally invasive devices.
PCA-HPMS delivers consistent, highly precise, customizable bump tubing for specialized medical applications. We can adjust diameters while preserving structural integrity and ensuring control over transitions and wall thickness. Our bump tubing maintains the same level of accuracy for multi-lumen configurations and across high-volume manufacturing.
PCA-HPMS’s comprehensive metrology capabilities ensure that our high-performance medical extrusions remain consistent, durable, and reliable. Every product, from single-lumen tubing to complex multi-lumen or bump configurations, is held to exacting standards for dimensional and performance accuracy. Real-time monitoring throughout production ensures extrusions remain within precise specifications, while thorough post-production inspections confirm accuracy, giving customers confidence that each component meets their exact requirements.
We are committed to helping you innovate, adapt, and excel with confidence. Partner with us, and let’s shape the future together.
We work closely with our customers to ensure every extrusion meets their exact requirements. From initial concept to full production, our team is dedicated to delivering tailored solutions that consistently exceed expectations.
Supported by our dedicated R&D lab and Innovation Hub, we continually push the boundaries of extrusion technology to develop cutting-edge solutions that help our customers stay ahead of evolving demands.
We work with the materials our customers specify and have a proven history of selecting and processing top-tier materials to ensure exceptional performance and durability.
With a specialized team of engineers, ISO Class 8 and Class 9 Cleanrooms, a leading rapid prototype lab, and manufacturing experts, PCA-HPMS is equipped to deliver reliability, precision, and excellence in every extrusion.
We operate dozens of extruders and braiders across three daily shifts, providing scalable medical tubing extrusion capacity to meet a wide range of medical devices.
Yes. We provide a comprehensive suite of value-add services to ensure a smooth transition from concept through production. These include heat forming and flaring, hole drilling, injection molding, punching, pad and roll printing, precision trimming, and tube bonding and assembly. Whether customizing catheter tips, bonding complex multi-lumen tubes, or printing unique identifiers, our in-house post-extrusion operations are supported by expert tooling and engineering support. We also offer robust testing capabilities, including pressure and occlusion testing, along with non-destructive internal imaging using X-ray.
Yes! We offer braiding, printing, punching, and related services. From mandrels to multi-layer tubing and multi-lumen designs with complex geometries, we support a wide range of configurations. Our in-house tool shop enables the quick production of high-quality dies and sets for various sizes, shapes, and configurations. We supply bump and balloon tubing, high-pressure braided tubing, single and multi-lumen tubing, and braided shafts. Additional capabilities include pad-printing, flaring, tipping, welding, and punching.
We maintain precision tolerances as low as .0005” for wall or ID and .010” for length, ensuring consistent accuracy across all medical extrusion products.
We work extensively with thermoplastics and workhorse materials like PP, PE, PVC, TPU, Nylon, and Pebax. We also support TPEs, PC, ABS, PET, and high-temperature resins like PEEK and PSU. We can accommodate custom blends with lubricious and radiopaque additives, and we collaborate closely with resin suppliers to tailor compounds to specific customer requirements.
Our extruder sizes range from 1/2” to 2” screw diameters. Each medical tube extrusion is optimized by our team of engineers for manufacturability to ensure maximum yield and efficiency. Our extrusion lines use laser micrometers on our medical tubing extrusion line for continuous in-line quality control.
PCA-HPMS specializes in producing high-performance medical extrusions customized to your specific needs. Our expertise with advanced materials, multi-lumen structures, and reinforced designs ensures superior quality and reliability for medical applications.
From concept to production, our team is ready to collaborate on your next-generation medical tube extrusion solution.
