How to specify stainless steel for medical device pipe

Catheter application of various medical instruments

Today, stainless steel plays a role in a variety of medical procedures. It is ideal for medical device piping applications that require high construction, high tensile modulus (stiffness), or high pressure fluid flow.

Stainless steel tubes are also used in various medical devices. These include stents, surgical cutting instruments, bone screws, stethoscopes, intubations, endoscopy devices, and other devices where material properties such as precision molding and machining ability are critical.

The right choice helps optimize manufacturability.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, stainless steel has played a vital role in the design and production of medical instrument tubes.

As the technology used to manufacture stainless steel tubes has advanced over the years -- for example, inner diameters (IDS) as small as 25 microns (μm) or 0.00098" are now possible -- the product has evolved with the medical field.

Pride processing products in Europe and the United States, Japan and South Korea, the Middle East, Southeast Asia are widely praised.
