Medical Stainless Steel Tubing (Small Diameter) for Medical Devices

Material

This product is a precision stainless steel small-diameter tubing designed specifically for medical devices. It is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steels such as 304/304L, 316/316L, and 17-7PH using cold-drawing or seamless production methods. The process ensures ultra-smooth surfaces, excellent dimensional accuracy, high structural integrity, and full biocompatibility.

Specifications

• Outside Diameter (OD): approx. 0.15 mm to 6 mm for miniature medical tubing

• Wall Thickness: from about 0.025 mm and above

• Dimensional Tolerance: OD and wall thickness tolerances can reach ±0.001 in depending on the size

• Available Grades: 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 316LVM, 316Ti, 17-7PH

• Surface Finish: polished or electropolished; internal Ra value can reach ≤0.2 µm

• Form: straight lengths or coils; cut-to-length available

• Production Method: cold drawing, plug drawing, seamless or welded-and-drawn processing

Key Features

• High corrosion resistance and excellent biocompatibility

• Very tight dimensional control for OD/ID and wall uniformity

• Smooth internal surfaces suitable for fluid and gas delivery

• High straightness and consistency for precision assembly

• Suitable for sterilization and repeated clinical use

Our Advantages

1. Tight Tolerances & Straightness

Our production achieves extremely precise OD, ID, and wall thickness control, with tolerances up to ±0.01 mm, meeting demanding medical device requirements such as minimally invasive instruments and catheter systems.

2. Medical-Grade Material Control

All stainless steel materials are fully certified, traceable, and compliant with medical manufacturing standards. Each batch undergoes strict inspection to ensure consistency and purity.

3. Superior Surface Cleanliness

Through precision drawing and electropolishing, tubing surfaces maintain minimal contamination and extremely low roughness, essential for medical fluid systems and surgical tools.

4. Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

We can produce ultra-small inside diameters (as small as 0.13 mm) and ultra-thin walls using cold-drawing and plug-drawing technologies.

5. Full Customization for Medical OEMs

Custom lengths, bending, coiling, flaring, and end-forming are available. Outer diameters can be produced up to 20 mm for special medical assemblies.

6. Compliance with Medical Quality Systems

Production aligns with ISO 13485 requirements, ensuring full documentation, traceability, and process control suitable for medical device manufacturing.
