What are precision cut medical plastics?
Most tubing components can be cut to length online during extrusion to tolerances of approximately +/- 0.080″ (+/- 2.032mm). When tighter cut length tolerances are required, specialty cutting equipment is used offline, capable of finished cut length tolerances as tight as +/- 0.005″ (+/- 0.27mm).
Which medical tubing materials can be precision cut?
Any tubing material has the ability to be precision cut.
What are the limitations of precision cutting?
The cutting limitations are generally dictated by the specific polymer being cut. Some materials are extremely brittle, while others are soft and tacky. Therefore the polymer type will dictate the ideal cutting process.
What medical devices typically require precision cutting?
Medical components which interface with other components often require tighter tolerances.
