Extrusion and Injection Molding Capabilities for Tubing and Connections

May 13, 2025 by IDEX Health & Science

In the medical field, precision isn’t optional—it’s essential. At IDEX Health & Science, we specialize in custom medical tubing solutions engineered to meet your exact specifications, helping you streamline development and ensure consistent performance in critical applications.

Our proprietary extrusion and injection molding process delivers tight tolerances and exceptional uniformity, supporting the demanding requirements of medical devices and fluidic systems. With real-time Statistical Process Control (SPC) and online gauging, we maintain rigorous quality standards throughout production—so you can count on dependable, repeatable results.

Our Proprietary Extrusion Process Ensures Tight Tolerances and Consistency

Precise Internal and Outside Diameters

ODs: 360 µm to 7.9 mm
IDs: 50 µm to 6.4 mm

Variety of Materials and Styles

• Radel^® R
• Peek^™
• Ultem^®
• ETFE
• Teflon^®
• FEP
• Teflon PFA
• Teflon AF
  

Extremely Small Tolerances

We utilize a two-axis laser to ensure precision and dependability.

±25 µm typical ID/OD tolerances for 1.6 mm OD tubing

±75 – 100 µm typical ID/OD tolerances for 3.2 mm OD tubing

Online Gauging with Real-Time Monitoring

We utilize an ultrasonic wall gauge to inspect and verify dimensions to assure precise measurements.

Online Display for Dimension Monitoring

We compile computer data to monitor and validate Outer Diameter (OD), Wall Thickness, and Inner Diameter (ID).

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

We apply the SPC method of quality control to monitor and manage processes to ensure efficiency.

Injection Molding Capabilities

We offer a wide range of capabilities in high-temperature engineering of thermoplastics:

• Radel^® R
• Peek^™
• Ultem^®
• ETFE
• Halar^®
• Teflon^® FEP
• Teflon PFA
• TPX
  
  

We use precision molding techniques to offer tolerances to ±12.5 µm.
