Technology
Material
We offer material expertise in conjunction with compounding services that allow our customer to procure the exact raw materials and needed formulas. We take great care to manage all materials from procurement through production to ensure that the material quality remains consistent from lot to lot. We work with the full spectrum of standard and specialty materials such as PU, TPU, PP, PE, TPE and Carbothane™, including radiopaque.
Tool Design & Manufacturing
We offer a full service in house CNC machine shop providing us the capability to take an existing print, design and manufacture the tooling, extrude the tubing with various trials as required and make whatever fine adjustments that are needed quickly and on the fly. With a strong understanding of machine design and material behavior, our team of experts can help you realize even the most complex of designs.
Tube Extrusion & Braiding
State of the art extrusion expertise with 3/4 inch (19.05 mm) to 1-1/2 inch (38.1 mm) single screw extruders. We use a wide array of proprietary techniques and equipment ranging from proprietary take-off equipment, pullers and bump pullers, to water treatment and product control systems. Our products are continuously monitored from beginning to end so that we may ensure only the highest quality leaves our facilities. Our specialty is micro-tubing, multi-layer and multilumen tubing and high pressure braided tubing.
Secondary Operations
No tubing product is complete without the supporting secondary operations that make most of our products so unique. We offer reflow capability, marker band assembly, annealing services, inline printing and secondary marking, molding / overmolding services, forming, drilling, welding and bonding solutions.
Device Test
All products are designed to meet and exceed customer expectations. We provide process validation, in-line continuous gaging on O.D. / I.D. / Wall thickness, SPC controls and tensile and elongation testing. When proprietary solutions require additional validation we will go above and beyond to ensure that those needs are met and that the quality is highly repeatable and traceable.
Assembly
ISO 13485:2003 facilities provide full device assembly and contract manufacturing services as needed to ensure that volumes are met and quality remains priority one. Whether it is a sub-assembly for OEM final manufacturing or a fully packaged device, we offer our customers solutions and a partner in Proterial that ensures reliable service and solutions that are scalable and global if needed.
