Natvar expands medical tubing potfolio

Supplier of medical tubing solutions Natvar, has expanded its product portfolio with new silicone extrusion tubing capability.   

The company state that its silicone extrusion medical tubing is offered at a better price compared to North American supply options.

Bob Donohue, general manager, Natvar said: “Because silicone is inert, biocompatible and an excellent choice for pump applications due to its ability to consistency hold tight-tolerances, we wanted to offer the global marketplace another source of supply for demanding applications.”

Silicone extrusions are regularly used for medical devices such as catheters, feeding tubes, drug delivery and peristaltic pump applications.

Donohue continued: “Another differentiator for our new silicone extrusion tubing capability is that Natvar is able to keep tight control over the raw material supply chain.”

Natvar’s latest investment in high precision, medical silicone extrusion tubing follows on the heels of the company’s recent thermoplastic microextrusion tubing launch.
