High-precision tubing for demanding medical use
Thin-Walled Tubing – Maximum Performance with Minimal Wall Thickness
RAUMEDIC thin-walled tubing combines ultra-thin walls with outstanding flexibility, pressure resistance, and biocompatibility. Designed for critical medical applications, our tubing meets the highest standards for purity, sterilizability, and dimensional accuracy – from balloon catheters to endoscopic systems and sterile media transfer.
Thin-walled tubing features a very low wall thickness relative to its inner diameter, making it ideal for space-saving and weight-sensitive applications. RAUMEDIC manufactures customized solutions with wall thicknesses starting from 0.10 mm and inner diameters ranging from approximately 1.1 mm to 14 mm. Tight tolerances are possible to meet demanding application requirements.
Depending on the intended use, a variety of medical-grade thermoplastics are available, including LDPE, LLDPE, PUR (TPU), or PA. Tubing can be manufactured in a range of colors and with customized surface textures depending on the choosen material — from glossy to micro-rough — to suit specific functional and identification needs.
From endoscopy to wound drainage
Applications at a Glance
Thin-walled tubing is ideal for a wide range of medical applications, thanks to its high flexibility, light weight, and proven biocompatibility. These properties support safe and precise use in devices like catheters, endoscopes, or portable systems. Transparent options allow visual flow control, while sterilisability and miniaturizability make the tubing suitable even for complex and space-constrained designs.

RAUMEDIC – your specialist for precision extrusion
With decades of experience and a strong track record in thin-walled extrusion, RAUMEDIC delivers tailor-made tubing solutions. We support our customers throughout the development process – from material selection to tolerance definition and functional testing.
Our extrusion capabilities allow for wall thicknesses as low as 0.10 mm and inner diameters ranging from 1.1 mm to 14 mm. We routinely process materials like PUR, PA, LDPE, and copolymers for serial production. Other polymers are possible and evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Most customers approach us with specific dimensions and materials already in mind – we make them a reality. From the first development steps to production, we define tolerances together, perform feasibility tests, and provide ongoing project support.
Optional processing steps include:
Bonding
Cutting to fixed lengths
Punching (incl. side punching)
Ultrasonic welding
Printing
