Closed end tips are a standard configuration for many catheter applications, but don’t let their simple shape fool you. Their precise external geometric configurations are designed for specific functions, and they require a precise, repeatable process to be formed accurately. 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.
- Tube OD Range: Tube sizes ranging from 2Fr up to 45Fr
