Technology

Based on the automotive control cable technologies we have refined since our establishment, we offer fine-diameter, precision-engineered tubes and wires for medical device applications.
Multiple technologies can be combined to meet design and performance requirements.

Polymer tubes

High-precision, ultra-thin and ultra-fine tubes produced through precision extrusion molding.
We can also process compounded polymers incorporating pigments for coloration and fillers for radiopacity.
While we specialize in materials such as nylon and polyurethane, we also welcome inquiries regarding other polymer materials.

Coil-reinforced tubes and braided tubes

Coil-reinforced tubes and braided tubes

Tubes reinforced by helically winding metal or polymer wires, or by braided mesh structures. A wide range of inner and outer diameters, wire diameters, and winding or braiding pitches can be accommodated.

Multi-layer tubes

Multi-layer tubes

Tubes composed of multiple layers.
The inner layer can be made of materials with excellent chemical resistance and low friction, such as fluoropolymers, while the outer layer can be coated with thermoplastic resins including nylon and polyurethane.
Strength can be further enhanced by incorporating braided or coil-reinforced structures as intermediate layers.

Multi-stage durometer gradient tubes

Multi-stage durometer gradient tubes

Tubes incorporating multiple resin hardness levels within a single structure.
Soft and rigid segments can be precisely controlled within one tube to meet functional and handling requirements.

Multi-lumen braided tubes and coil-reinforced tubes

Multi-lumen braided tubes and coil-reinforced tubes

Braided tubes and coil-reinforced tubes featuring multiple lumens.

Tube joining

Tube joining

Tube joining enables the integration of multiple functions into a single tube assembly.

Connectors and hubs

Connectors and hubs

Catheters with connectors or other parts joined to the tube ends.
Depending on the material and size, various joining methods are available, including injection molding (insert molding) and adhesive bonding.

Tube post-processing

Tube post-processing

A variety of secondary processing operations can be applied to tubes to create specific geometries.
Examples include bending, tapering, end rounding, and side-hole formation.

Stranded wires and wound coils

Stranded wires and wound coils

Fine stranded wires (wire ropes) offering both flexibility and high strength, and multi-wound coils (torque coils) optimized for torque transmission.
A wide range of stranding constructions and wire materials can be selected to meet specific performance requirements.

Coated wires and cables

Coated wires and cables

Single wires, stranded wires, and wound coils with polymer coatings applied to improve durability, sliding performance, and overall functional properties.

Tapered wires

Tapered wires

By taper-grinding metal wires, bending stiffness can be precisely controlled along different sections of the wire.

Coatings

Hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and antithrombotic coatings can be applied to the surfaces of polymer tubes, metal wires, and other components.
