Medical Tubing
Medical tubing is made from a variety of materials and is typically sterilized and small in diameter. Glass, metal, plastic, and rubber silicone tubing are used in a variety of medical applications.
Plastic Tubing
Plastic tubing is tubing constructed from plastic compounds for use in fluid flow or structural systems, or as insulation or sheathing for electrical or heating assemblies.
Peristaltic Pumps
Peristaltic pumps use rotating rollers pressed against special flexible tubing to create a pressurized flow.
Shrink Tubing
Heat shrink tubing conforms to the size and shape of wires, connections, open coils, and other electrically conductive elements to insulate and protect them from adverse environmental conditions.
Tube Fabrication Services
Tube fabrication services perform end-services such as notching, slotting, and piercing. They do not manufacture pipes or tubes.
