a cutting-edge medical device is not the sole application
for small-diameter high-precision tubes, but it provides the
most compelling proof of their excellence. a trocar which
introduces the instruments of laparoscopic surgery into
the body allows little margin for error – still less for failure.
and, as the tubing component of the device evolves from
the delivery system into the instrumentation itself, the
reliability demands placed on the tube will only intensify.
From the analogue meter pointers of the mid-1960s to the
most sensitive heat-exchange products of the present,
the remarkable tubing reviewed here has fulfilled exacting
requirements as to concentricity and wall thickness, shape
memory and elasticity. now, as always, the experience
and integrity on offer in a state-of-the art tubemaking
operation provide assurance that the even more stringent
requirements of the future will be met, as well.
