How Engineered Extrusion Helps
Medical Device Makers Improve
Device Designs and Patient Experiences
E
xtruded hoses and tubes are
extensively used within the
healthcare and medical industry
in a wide variety of applications,
from wound drains to
catheters, from drug delivery to feeding
tubes. Technology has moved far beyond
the production of single, hollow tubes to
multilumen ones that may incorporate
stops, bumps, and varying thicknesses in
one design.
Significant benefits can be achieved by
taking advantage of innovative processes
and the latest material options to reduce
device manufacturers' total cost of ownership
while increasing component in -
tegrity. At the same time, the processes
can improve patients' quality of life by
facilitating reduction in device size and
weight, as well as incorporating multi -
faceted geometries, multiple substrates,

and active pharmaceutical ingredients
(APIs). This enhances in-hospital treatment
in terms of safety and comfort and
makes wearable medical device options
more feasible.
Global Market Trends
According to The Business Research
Company, the global medical device market
reached a value of nearly $456.9 billion
in 2019, having increased at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of
4.4 percent since 2015. The market is
expected to grow to $603.5 billion by
2023.
The growth in the medical device
market is causing an increase in demand
for medical tubing. According to Grand
View Research, the global medical tubing
market was estimated at $6.4 billion
in 2018 and has an expected CAGR of

Factors and Material
Considerations in Tubing and
Hoses
Before designing tubing and hoses for
medical devices, engineers should consider
factors such as size, hardness, tear
strength, elongation, surface friction,
transparency, and visibility.
Depending on the application, medical
hoses and tubing are produced in a

9.2 percent through 2025 when it is ex -
pected to reach $11.9 billion.
This growth can be attributed to the
availability of cost-competitive, medicalgrade
plastics, a surge in demand for
single- use, disposable devices (due to
growing awareness of hospital-acquired
infections and concerns with spreading
them), and developing countries having
increased access to healthcare supplies.
