Designed for high-pressure applications Medical high-pressure tubing
In angiography, blood vessels are made visible by means of X-rays (CT) or magnetic resonance (MRI).
To identify even the smallest ramifications of the blood vessels, a contrast agent is required which is injected into the body with high pressure via the tubes. During the application, the high-pressure tubing must withstand the forceful injection reliably, while remaining kink-free and flexible. This is the only way to safely diagnose pathological changes such as circulatory disorders and vascular occlusions.
We know that when it comes to the well-being of the patient, cleanliness is key.
Let the facts speak for themselves: For our high-pressure tubing, we only use raw materials according to the LAL standard. The coreless extrusion process in class 7 cleanroom facilities results in an absence of particles according to the standard USP-788.
Braided high-pressure tubing
Thanks to their extraordinary flexibility and pressure-resistance, our braided tubes are the first choice for angiography.
In a highly developed manufacturing process, a polyester monofilament is embedded in a transparent polyurethane tubing.
Coextruded high-pressure tubing
Coextruded high-pressure tubing is in demand in medical technology when a more transparent configuration or cost-effective alternative to braid reinforced tubing is needed. Thanks to the reinforcement-free design, the coextruded high-pressure tubing offers excellent transparency and ideal conditions for the use of flow sensors and air bubble detectors.
Quickly available: Standard high-pressure tubing
No development time is required for the following variants, so that these configurations are quickly available.
