Medical Tubes

50+ Years of Medical Grade Tubing

As experienced medical tubing suppliers, we have spent the last 50 years developing specialised extruded plastic medical tubing in the UK and working together with our medical device partners to ensure each product meets the required medical grade properties.

Each plastic tubing product is manufactured under strict quality conditions and standards within a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) controlled environment.

Our Quality Management Systems are certified to ISO 9001:2015.

Testing and Quality Assurance

As medical tubing manufacturers, we work hard to ensure only the highest standards when it comes to our manufacturing process and final products.

Every order is subjected to a stringent contract review process to ensure we have as much information as possible about the client’s material and specification requirements before beginning production planning.

Regardless of size (length, diameter, wall thickness, etc.), we test each product extensively and follow strict guidelines to ensure all our tubes have undergone a number of checks to guarantee they are of the highest quality standards.

Our plastic tubing production processes are also supported by specialist facilities.
