Changes in Medical Procedures Fuel Demand for Increasingly Narrow Tubing
Suppliers of medical-grade tubing are being asked to increase functionality while shrinking product size. The drive to miniaturise is a consequence of minimally invasive procedures, but it is also a result of a growing awareness of the need for appropriately sized pediatric products, notes one maker of custom tubing. In many cases, medical device manufacturers traditionally have opted to let hospital personnel improvise ways to use existing devices on children rather than run expensive paediatric studies. That may be changing, and tubing suppliers are happy to help. more>>> |
