PRODUCTS — Multi-Lumen
APPLICATIONS
Vascular Intervention, Vascular Access, Endosurgery, CRM and Neurostimulation
ExtruMed multi-lumen tubing is used in a wide variety of end-user catheter applications, including coronary, peripheral, neurovascular, dialysis, venous, urology, Ob/Gyn, endoscopy and neurostimulation.
Provide Channels to Optimize Management of Fluid, Mechanical, Electrical and/or Energy Delivery for Minimally Invasive Diagnostic and Therapeutic Devices
Lumens have different functionality based on the specific application. Some of the more typical functions are to provide passage of fluids or drugs, guidewires, inflation/deflation of a balloon, mechanical devices (instruments, stents, baskets, coils, etc.), electrical/electronic sensors and/or energy delivery (thermal, RF, cryo and UV).
Multi-Lumen Tubing Consists of Two or More Working Channels (lumens) Running the Length of the Tubing
The number, size and configuration of the lumens is limited by the outer diameter, wall thickness, web thickness and material. Typical multi-lumen tubes will have two-five lumens, but some applications require nine or more lumens.
Tooling, Materials, Process and Quality Control
ExtruMed designs and builds the multi-lumen tooling in-house, ensuring design and quality control, as well as rapid response times. ExtruMed offers multi-lumen tubing in most thermplastics, including polyurethanes, nylons, Pebax®, polyethylene and others. ExtruMed employs advanced process technology to control lumens during extrusion and comprehensive quality control methods to ensure lumen consistency and patency.
