Abstract
Content

Advancements in medical technology and material science have created new engineering challenges for medical devices used in minimally invasive interventional procedures. Medical device companies are making devices that are smaller (less invasive), more complex, and multifunctional, which require more precision and tighter tolerances from their contract manufacturers. For example, in the extrusion market, device companies continue to develop complex new designs for single products that require co-extrusion, multi-lumen, multidurometer segments, or variable coil/braid reinforcements.
