Unlike traditional reliance on conventionally used hoses and pneumatic systems across medical applications, the medical fraternity is fast adopting novel means such as plastic based medical tubing systems to downside exorbitant medical expenditure and improving overall care giving. Plastic based medical tubing is more durable and offers improved pneumatic functionality across end-use applications such as non-invasive catheter cable sleeves, microdermabrasion, lab testing and the like. In recent years, owing to diverse factors, negative pressure wound therapy is witnessing explosive adoption for critical pain and wound management. This development is significantly aligning with fast track adoption of plastic tubing thereby influencing growth in global medical tubing market.

Plastic Based Medical Tubing to Witness Large Scale Adoption Owing to Vast Functional Attributes

Core medical applications such as intravenous medication, wound management and restricting uncontrolled blood flow are some of the most prominent medical applications calling for medical tubing adoption. In this regard, inert materials such as plastic remains most obvious choice for medical tubing as it poses no patient threat in terms of allergic reactions when in patient contact. Of the various types of medical tubing materials, clear, transparent medical tubing is witnessing preferred adoption to maneuver seamless integration and fluid regulation.

Essentially medical tubing closely meets diverse functional needs of pharmaceutical and medical requirements to cater to vast expanse of unmet medical needs. Some of the most frequent and common applications of medical tubing encompass fluid management and optimum drainage. In this regard, most common applications of medical tubing comprise respiratory and anesthesiology needs, catheters, IVs, as well as laboratory needs.

Medical tubing is a highly distinguished and compels process that relies heavily on material certification comprising material composition and specification to comply with patient care needs and drug manufacturing based on stringent industry regulations such as Good Manufacturing Practice and Current Good Manufacturing Practice. Factors as such constantly trigger million dollar growth in global medical tubing market, also calling for device improvement and material advancement for improved outcome in medical tubing market.

One of the persistent challenges in medical tubing space is frequent unavailability of medical tubing materials such as silicone. FDA has in the recent past highlighted several instances of insufficient medical tubing owing to shortage of building materials such as siloxane. In this light, veteran medical tubing company, PolyOne has unveiled its unique silicone substitute for extensive adoption in medical tubing industry.

With massive reliance on medical tubing for complex medical applications and thorough healthcare delivery, leading participants in medical tubing space are promptly adopting to new ways of business strategies to secure a steady command on final products, coinciding aptly with patient needs. Several high grade plastic manufacturers are entering into long term commitments with medical tubing manufacturers to suit exact needs.

Pursuing optimum returns in therapeutics and device applications, leading manufacturers are rather investing increasingly in developing high grade plastic finish for medical tubing aligning with FDA regulatory norms.

Composite and Nylon Based Medical Tubing to Witness Large Scale Adoption Globally

Some of the leading players in the business favor melt process variant of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) that has an edge over other variations in terms f transparency quotient, high permeability, high temperature resistance and melting point. Additionally, nylon has long served as the most trusted raw material for medical tubing industry and therefore finds applications in disposable medical products. It is highly dependable owing to its range of features such as high abrasion resistance, minimal friction, besides superlative chemical ad heat resistance. Therefore, nylon based medical tubing is overtly dependent on high grade nylon.s

Despite conventional medical tubing materials, leading market participants are inclining towards adopting stainless steel based medical tubing to align with diverse needs of minimally invasive surgical procedures. Several applications such as arthroscopic, cardiac, orthopedic and endoscopic procedures are facilitated by stainless steel based medical tubing to collaborate with contactless laser equipment and mechanical machining. Hence, in recent years, stainless steel based medical tubing is estimated to remain progressive with minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Advances in Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures is constantly reinstating demands for highly flexible small dimension and multifunctional medical tubes. IN this line, composite tubing is also growing profusely to cater to diverse end use applications such as minimally invasive surgical procedures. In this regard, composite tubing is gaining much preference in recent years to collaborate with multi-functionality.

Ineos Styrolution Unveils Novel Medical Tubing Variant to Suit Diverse IV Needs

Leading market participants in medical tubing space, besides harnessing tremendous advances in material technology, are also closely focusing on advanced feature attributions to suit medical applications. To cite an instance in this regard, medical device company Ineos Styrolution has unveiled a new grade of medical tubing application under the brand, Styroflex to align with complex medical tubing applications comprising IV sets and multi-layer tubing applications. This novel development meets prevalent loopholes such as insufficient bonding, tubing extrusion deficiencies and the like. The development is likely to ring development advances, besides aligning with OEM requirements for high end medical tubing.
