Custom Medical Tube Overmolding Services
Tube overmolding is a method that is used to place injection molding around a catheter, tube, insert, or other components. The result of the extrusion tube overmolding process is a component, fluid channel, or other mechanical feature that is completely encapsulated. This provides a safe and secure encased component that is ready to use for a variety of unique medical applications.
At Duke Extrusion, we are experts at extrusion tube over molding. Tube overmolding is an effective, permanent method of bonding a variety of components to an extrusion. This process can also provide an efficient way to produce custom reliable tubing bonds without additional components such as adhesives.
