Butt welded tube segments are a standard method of creating multi-segmented catheters for diverse applications. Single and multiple lumen configurations are commonplace. They all require precise external geometric configurations with securely bonded interfaces for proper functioning of the catheter. A wide variation in tube sizes, tip configurations and polymer choices add extra layers of complexity to the tip forming process. Vante and PlasticWeld diverse equipment options provide you with unmatched versatility to meet your specific production challenges.
