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.
