Medical Device
Precision Extrusion

From simple single-lumen tubing to complex multi-lumen, tapered, balloon, and overjacketed constructions, Cordica builds it in-house, engineered around the device it serves.

02 / Extrusion Capabilities

From simple tubing to complex extrusion architecture.

Lumen count, wall construction, material selection, and downstream processing all shape the extrusion strategy, long before the tubing reaches assembly.

Active architecture

Single-Lumen

A single controlled channel, holding tight ID and OD tolerances down to 0.00075-inch walls where the application calls for it. The starting architecture most other extrusion builds extend from.

Tight tolerance controlThin-wall constructionFoundation for complex builds

Up to 14

Lumens within a single extrusion

Down to 0.00075 in.

Wall thickness for applicable designs

As little as 3 days

Architecture mode

Single Lumen

A single, tightly toleranced channel built to carry one fluid, guidewire, or mechanical pathway.

04 / Materials + Process

Material choice and processing are part of the same decision.

Material selection affects flexibility, surface friction, bonding, and how the tubing behaves downstream in catheter or component assembly. Material and process get evaluated together, not in sequence.

Proprietary compounds: PebaSLIX®, PolySLIX™, NyloSLIX®, FluoroSLIX®.

Process capability

Custom extrusion in as little as three days. Overjacketing that fully encapsulates a braid or reinforcement layer over an etched PTFE liner. PTFE liners from 0.0005 to 0.005 inches, on round, oval, and rectangular profiles.

Device requirement

Geometry, material behavior, and downstream processing are evaluated together, against what the finished device actually needs to do.

05 / Development to Scale

Extrusion development, built with production in view.

  1. 01

    Develop

    Start from what the device actually requires, then work backward to geometry and material.

  2. 02

    Refine

    Pressure-test the process against everything that happens downstream of it.

  3. 03

    Control

    Build repeatability and inspection into the process itself, not bolted on afterward.

  4. 04

    Scale

    Get the process production-ready for the volume the program actually needs.
