Single-Lumen Tubing

Single Lumen Tubing

What is Single-Lumen Tubing?

Single-lumen tubing is a type of tubing that features a single internal passage or lumen. It typically has a round outer diameter and is designed for applications where the delivery or transportation of a single substance, such as air, fluids, or wires, is required. Common uses include shaft tubing, balloon tubing, flow restrictors, IV tubing, and sheaths—all of which require consistent performance and tight tolerances.

Medical Extrusion Technologies specializes in the extrusion of single-lumen tubing, offering customized solutions to meet specific needs in medical and industrial applications. We leverage our expertise in polymer extrusion to manufacture tubing from different polymers and can incorporate additives like colorants, surface modifiers for enhanced lubricity, or radiopacifiers for fluoroscopy or X-ray visibility based on application requirements.

We also provide additive enhancements, such as:

  • Radiopaque fillers for enhanced fluoroscopy and X-ray visibility
  • Lubricious coatings and surface modifiers for reduced friction in catheter-based applications
  • Colorants and stripe markings for easy identification and differentiation
  • Custom wall thicknesses and tolerances for optimized performance in specialized medical procedures
