A critical decision when designing medical tubing applications is selecting the right material. Incorporating Silicone may be the logical choice due to its resistance to many environmental factors such as temperature, chemicals, UV radiation, and x-rays. Silicone is excellent at resisting adherence to body tissue and to not supporting microbial growth. Silicone tubing is being used in more and more medical and pharmaceutical applications such as wound drains, shunt devices, and drug delivery devices. Participants in this webinar will hear our team share design, manufacturing and assembly techniques that should be considered for your future product design and launch initiatives.

When you attend this webinar, you will:

  • Hear experts share key learnings on how to consistently extrude tight tolerance, multi-lumen and profile options for silicone tubing.
  • Walk away with a better understanding of over-molding and device assembly.
  • Understand the give and take with different reinforcement methods/solutions.
  • Learn how best to imbed radiopaque striping to avoid tissue exposure.
  • Hear our case studies on unique design and functional challenges with silicone extrusions.
