Single Lumen Tubes

Single lumen tubes are the quintessential tube in the medical device industry. It is a tube with a single hole in the center that is the workhorse during a surgical/medical procedure. Single lumens are most commonly used in forms of delivery systems (braided shafts), urological and drainage catheters.
