Extruded Medical Tubing

With more than 60 years of experience, we’re the largest extruder of advanced and conventional medical tubing in North America.

We can meet any extrusion need, from thermoplastics to silicone and from small-batch to high-volume production. We also offer quick-turn solutions and specialty extrusion with tight tolerances and thin walls.

microbore & multilumen extrusion

We can extrude tubing with high-performance materials, thin walls, tight tolerances, and complex geometries, whether you’re looking for quick-turn prototypes or full-scale production.

Silicone tubes on a tray manufactured by SPG

Our silicone extrusion solutions complement our thermoplastic tubing suite of products to provide a one-stop solution for your medical device needs.

core mandrel

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.

Fluid management extrusions by SPG

With tubing fabrication facilities in 5 countries, we offer a scalable, full-service package made to your precise specifications, including tubing, fittings, molded components, subassemblies, and assemblies.

Fluid management plastic components by Adam Spence Corporation

Our fluid management product line features single-use plastic components for the medical and pharmaceutical industries, including bags, clamps, luers, caps, chambers, spikes, valves, and assemblies.

Lasers are high-precision machining instruments that cut micron-scale features in extruded tubing that enable specific medical applications, such as intravascular drug or stent delivery.

PEEK Tubing

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-strength, high-temperature thermoplastic with superior mechanical and chemical properties that are ideal for medical tubing and other demanding applications.

We’re a leading full-service manufacturer of high pressure braided tubing (HPBT) for vascular balloon inflation, contrast injection, vacuum procedures, and other interventional needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Extruded medical tubing serves as a critical component in a wide range of medical devices, from minimally invasive surgical instruments to fluid management systems. Applications include cardiovascular catheters, endoscopic devices, drug delivery systems, and drainage tubes, with each application requiring specific material properties and precise dimensional tolerances.

Extruded medical tubing offers exceptional consistency and reliability in critical medical applications, with the ability to maintain tight tolerances and complex geometries. The process allows for customization of material properties, wall thickness, and multi-lumen configurations while ensuring biocompatibility and sterilization resistance required for medical-grade applications

Material selection, dimensional requirements, and end-use environment are crucial factors in choosing the right extruded medical tubing. Key considerations include biocompatibility, sterilization method compatibility, chemical resistance, mechanical properties, and manufacturing scalability from prototype to full-scale production. The intended application's pressure requirements and temperature exposure also play vital roles in material selection.

Spectrum combines extensive manufacturing capabilities with specialized expertise in medical-grade materials and regulatory requirements. Our quick-turn prototyping abilities, capacity for high-volume production, and experience with complex geometries enable us to meet demanding medical device specifications. From single-lumen to multi-lumen configurations, we offer comprehensive solutions for both thermoplastic and silicone extrusion needs.
