Lubricious / Low Friction Tubing Solutions

Lubricious surfaces are a critical feature of every minimally invasive device. Low friction lumens allow devices to readily access tortuous anatomy and tight spaces with a minimum of force. 

Spectrum Plastics Group has decades of experience in manufacturing minimally devices and offers a range of lubricious catheter materials that are fast, reliable, and low friction.

Core Mandrel (Solid Rod Extrusion)

Core mandrel by SPG

Used as a manufacturing aid for braid- or coil-reinforced catheter tubing, our core mandrels feature extremely tight tolerances to maintain consistent diameter and roundness for catheter manufacturing, as well as a smooth surface for easy removal.

Material Options

  • Premium plain acetal mandrel
  • Premium acetal blend with silicone surface mandrel
  • Acetal or silicone acetal (small OD) with stainless steel wire reinforcing
  • Economy version

Single vs. Multilumen Tubing

Our advanced extrusion capabilities deliver both single-lumen and multilumen tubing solutions engineered for demanding medical applications.

Single-Lumen Tubing

  • Precision extrusion for critical applications
  • Custom durometer options for specific flexibility needs
  • Optimized for cardiovascular and neurovascular delivery systems

Multilumen Advantages

  • Space-saving designs combining multiple functions
  • Customizable lumen geometries (round, oval, D-shaped)
  • Ideal for multi-channel fluid delivery and wire integration
