Single lumen tubing is an extrusion with one channel, or passage, running through its center. Single-lumen extrusions are commonly used in medical applications where the device component needs only one channel such as:
- Balloons
- Intravenous (IV) tubing
- Infusion Sets and other pumping lines
- Feeding tubes
- Cannulas
- Catheters
Medical devices may require single-lumen components to preserve specific material properties and meet stringent dimensional specifications. Choosing a supplier that understands materials and the processes needed to hold tight tolerances, maintain wall concentricity, and retain physical properties will be the deciding factor in high-quality extrusions.
Our extrusion experts at GenX have the knowledge and equipment to deliver high-quality, repeatable single-lumen extrusions. Whether you need quick R&D runs or high-volume production quantities, GenX Medical can rapidly design and manufacture the proper tooling needed for your custom extrusion designs. Our internal capabilities allow precise, on-demand tooling to be manufactured for quick turnarounds or when critical adjustments are necessary.
GenX has acquired and developed specialized equipment and techniques to extrude a variety of polymers while maintaining their original properties during extrusion. When materials require special considerations for moisture, filtration, or cooling, GenX uses resin-specific methods to ensure stable, consistent extrusion runs. With many medical-grade polymers on hand, GenX can manufacture most single-lumen extrusions within a week.
