Manufacturing processes for our tubes for medical technology
Novoplast Schlauchtechnik uses micro and co-extrusion to create precise tubing solutions for modern medicine and life science. Find out more.
Our expertise in manufacturing
Whether filigree microextrusion for high-precision applications or innovative co-extrusion with functional added value - state-of-the-art tubing technologies open up new possibilities for safety, efficiency and user-friendliness in medical technology. With solutions that are tailored to the needs of our customers down to the last detail, we help to optimize clinical processes and reliably support sophisticated therapies.
We have been experts in this field for many years - and are your competent partner for individual and pioneering tubing solutions in medical technology.
Microextrusion enables the production of tubes with extremely small dimensions: Diameters of less than 2.00 mm and wall thicknesses of less than 0.40 mm. This technology opens up new possibilities for applications where maximum precision, safety and functionality are crucial.
Despite the small dimensions, multi-layer structures can also be realized. Additional properties such as increased strength, improved flexibility or special functional layers can be integrated. We therefore offer solutions that are precisely tailored to the requirements of sensitive medical applications.
We have optimized our microextrusion equipment to manufacture these special products. Minimal dwell times in the process ensure gentle material processing, while state-of-the-art production technologies guarantee high precision and reproducibility.
Our microextrusion tubing is used in a wide range of applications:
- PTA / PTCA - for high-precision cardiology applications
- Endoscopy - for flexible and safe working channels
- Hearing aids - for filigree, comfortable tubing solutions
- Laboratory applications - for precise analysis and diagnostics
- Urology - for specialized catheter solutions
With our expertise, we develop customized microextrusion tubing that combines quality, precision and innovation - for the highest demands in medical technology and life science.
CoExtrusion - innovative tube solutions with added value
Co-extrusion technology can be used to produce tubes that impress with additional functions and high variability. One or more strips are inserted into the tube wall - either attached or fully embedded. This technology enables a wide range of applications in medical technology and life science.
A typical example is color coding, which can be used to identify different media and facilitate handling in everyday clinical practice. CoExtrusion can also be used to integrate X-ray contrast strips, which enable reliable position monitoring in the patient.
In addition to visual or functional markings, the technology also allows different materials to be combined. This allows properties such as bending stiffness, tensile strength or flexibility to be specifically adapted - ideal for applications with special mechanical requirements.
Our co-extrusion tubing is used in numerous areas of medical technology:
- Infusion - safe and reliable drug delivery
- Angiography - pressure-resistant lines with contrast medium control
- Nutrition - precise and hygienic supply solutions
- Urology - functional tubing for specialized catheters
With state-of-the-art production and a high level of development expertise, we create customized co-extrusion tubing that combines quality, safety and functionality.
Functionalization
Functionalization in medical technology refers to the targeted modification of material properties in order to optimize medical products for specific applications.
For example, we offer tubes with full X-ray contrast or with X-ray contrast strips that enable clear position control in clinical use. For a particularly gentle application, we also manufacture variants with surfaces that are optimized for sliding friction. By combining inner and outer tubing, we can provide solutions that are individually tailored to your specific requirements.
