Multilumen Tubing
Applications
Vascular Intervention, Vascular Access, Endosurgery, CRM and Neurostimulation, Including Coronary, Peripheral, Neurovascular, Dialysis, Venous, Urology, Ob / Gyn, Endoscopy and Other Medical Device Applications
Vesta’s precision medical extrusion solutions optimize the clinical outcome of thermoplastics and silicone double lumen and multilumen tubing for the medical device industry.
Function
Provide Channels to Optimize Management of Fluid, Mechanical, Electrical and / or Energy Delivery for Minimally Invasive Diagnostic and Therapeutic Devices
Double lumens and multiple lumens serve a variety of purposes in numerous applications, allowing for passage of fluids or drugs, as guidewires, inflation / deflation of a balloon, mechanical devices (instruments, stents, baskets, coils, etc.) and electrical / electronic sensors and / or energy delivery (thermal, RF, cryo and UV), as in the case of lead tubing.
Description
Multilumen Tubing Consists of Two or More Working Channels (Lumens) Running the Length of the Tubing
Vesta manufactures custom multilumen tubing in virtually any configuration. The number, size and configuration of the lumens is limited only by the outer diameter, wall thickness, web thickness and material.
Technology
Tooling, Materials, Process and Quality Control
Vesta designs and builds the multilumen tooling in-house, ensuring quality control and rapid response times. We even provide quick-turn medical device prototyping for simple configurations. Vesta employs advanced process technology and comprehensive quality control methods to ensure lumen consistency and patency.
