The move toward smaller medical devices has established laser cutting & welding as critical methods of medical device manufacturing. These methods are complicated but essential processes for adding functionality such as improved steering, reach or flexibility when working with materials such as metals and polymers. In this webinar, TE discusses its laser processing capabilities in cutting and welding complex designs of metal components, from prototyping to automated high-volume production.
Metric Metal Tubing
Hypodermic tubing, available in metric dimensions, is ideal for medical device applications that require strength, uniformity, and is corrosion resistant.
We stock seamless 304 and 316 stainless steel metric tubing, usually in the annealed temper condition, manufactured to OD and wall dimensions. Metric tubing is generally used with standard metric compression fittings and other commercial applications that require corrosion resistance and strength.
