Thin-Wall Stainless Steel Tubing

We produce thin wall stainless steel tubes across a wide range of dimensions, from micro-scale hypotubes to larger-diameter catheter components. Every piece of thin walled steel tubing is cold-drawn to precise tolerances, with consistent wall uniformity across the full length of each cut. Standard specifications for thin-wall stainless steel tubing include:

min | max

• Outside diameter (OD): 0.15 mm | 6 mm
• Wall thickness (WT): 0.025 mm | 0.5 mm

Precious metals are naturally occurring rare metals such as gold, platinum, and silver. Our stainless steel tubing is most commonly available in the following compositions:

• 304 Series
• 316 Series
• 17-7PH

Beyond stainless steel, there are other alloys commonly used in the production of thin-wall tubing, including:

• Cobalt chrome
  • Phynox and Elgiloy
• MP35N
• Titanium Grade 2

Thin wall stainless tubing is the material of choice across a broad range of medical device applications, valued for its combination of high strength, corrosion resistance, and the ability to hold tight dimensional tolerances at very small diameters. From structural components to fluid-path elements, thin wall stainless tube is specified wherever wall thickness, surface finish, and material consistency are critical to device performance.

Stainless steel and precious metal tubing are commonly used in the medical device industry for products such as:

• Catheter delivery systems
• Orthopedic instrument components for cutting and drilling
• Tubular and needle products for fluid and gas transfer
• Tubular elements for ophthalmologic, neurologic, and cardiac applications
• Liposuction and embalming applications
• Endoscopy and laparoscopy

Innovators developing groundbreaking medical devices rely on our medical stainless steel tubing and other alloy materials to create new technologies and advanced treatment options that improve patient lives. From early prototyping through high-volume production, our tubing is specified by device developers across the most demanding therapeutic areas in medicine. Our tubing is commonly used in the following markets:

• Ophthalmic
• Minimally invasive surgery
• Neurovascular
• Structural heart
• Orthopedic
• Electrophysiology
• Peripheral vascular
• Neuromodulation
• Cardiovascular
