Single Lumen Tubes

Single Lumen Tubes: The Heart of Medical Devices

Single lumen tubes, featuring a single central hole, are essential in the medical device industry. These versatile tubes are the workhorses during surgical and medical procedures. They are most commonly used in:

• Delivery systems (e.g., braided shafts)
• Structural Heart
• Neurovascular
• Cardiovascular
• Urological catheters
• Drainage catheters

Their reliability and efficiency make them indispensable in various medical applications.

Renegade’s Capabilities

• Diameters < 0.560″
• Extremely thin walls < 2% of OD ratio (in most cases)
• Balloon Tubing (>92%-99% concentricity and specified elongation)
• Materials include:
  • TPU’s (e.g. Isothane®, Tecothane®)
  • TPE’s (e.g. Pebax®)
  • PA’s (e.g. Vestamid®, Grilamid®)
  • PE’s (e.g. 640i, LR73200)
• Fillers include:
  • BaSO4 (Barium Sulfate) – Lowest radiopacity, great processing capability, lowest cost. Typical loading <40%
