◆What materials does CUUMed provide for the Coextruded tube?
Coextruded medical tubes can be made from a variety of materials, including thermoplastics, elastomers, and resins, and can be designed to have specific properties such as flexibility,
clarity, and strength. The layers can also be optimized for different functions, such as drug delivery, fluid management, or electrical insulation.
◆What medical devices are braided tubes commonly used in?
Coextruded medical tubing is commonly used in various medical applications, such as intravenous (IV) therapy, cardiac catheterization, and respiratory therapy. The multiple layers of the
tube can provide varying properties, such as a stiff inner layer for improved torque momentum and kink resistance, and a soft outer layer for patient comfort. Additionally, extruded stripes can be added to the tubing for aesthetic purposes, x-ray visibility,
or other functional requirements.
