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