BALLOON
TUBING
Vascular; Coronary, Peripheral, Neurovascular
and Non-vascular
ExtruMed manufactures high-precision balloon tubing for use in
applications such as PTCA, PTA, stent delivery and other medical
applications.
Dilatation, Drug and Device Delivery, Occlusion
and More
ExtruMed’s balloon tubing parisons have the criteria to produce
high-yielding medical device balloons including; uniform wall thickness,
excellent concentricity and optically clear and repeatable mechanical
properties.
Balloon Tubing as an Integrated Process
ExtruMed’s fully integrated facility can control the critical
parameters for balloon performance including extrusion.
These parameters are important for the balloon tubing
extrusion process.
Extrude. Test. Inspect. Form. Test
ExtruMed controls each step in manufacturing high-yield balloon
tubing. The first step is to EXTRUDE high-quality and high
concentric tubing that meet specific dimensional and cosmetic
requirements. During the extrusion process, ExtruMed will TEST
the tubing to ensure that required mechanical properties are met.
After the extrusion, ExtruMed’s
highly trained inspectors will INSPECT the tubing for cosmetic
and dimensional failures.
High-Quality Parisons, Thin Walls and High
Burst Pressures
ExtruMed’s team of experienced precision tubing technicians understand the importance of producing high-quality tubing for balloon application.
Our technicians ensure that the tubing adheres to and exceeds the dimensional and mechanical requirements, and is inspected to eliminate cosmetic defects
and ensure high-quality products. Our baloon tubing capabilities are as follows:
