Core Mandrel
Highly skilled in tight tolerances
We have over 10 years experience supplying high-quality core mandrel for demanding applications to global leaders.
Materials
- Acetal
- Acetal with silicone blend
Specifications
- Dimensions: 0.0120” – 0.115”
- Tolerance: OD tolerance of +/- 0.0003” to 0.0005”
- Consistent diameter, roundness and smooth surface
Usage
- Manufacturing aid for or braid- or coil-reinforced catheter tubing
- Tight tolerances support uniform diameter and roundness for catheter manufacturing
Applications
Endotracheal tubes
Often extruded as multi-lumen tubes our endotracheal tubes can be co-extruded with a radiopaque line that allows medical professionals to visualize the tube under X-ray.
Catheters
We extrude catheters with complex features to meet performance requirements. We also provide cleanroom assembly to build complete catheter-based devices.
Fluid management
Extrusion plays a vital role in fluid management supporting various applications such as IV systems, drug delivery and drainage.
