MULTI-LUMENMulti-lumen tubing has multiple holes (lumens) through which different tasks can be accomplished: for example, delivery and withdrawal of fluids, wires for steering a catheter, devices to grasp tissue for a biopsy and a fiber optic line to allow doctors to monitor progress during a surgical procedure.
Microspec's ability to extrude advanced medical tubing with complex shapes and many lumens makes it possible to accomplish more in a single device. Within one tube, the lumens may vary in shape, size, number, symmetry, shaft diameter, durometer hardness, wall thickness and web thickness, among other physical attributes.
