Medical tubes are intrinsic part of various medical devices, useddrug delivery systems, in the manufacturing of catheters andcannulas, dialysis, and intravenous tubing. These tubes are insertedinto the body through nose, mouth, or skin to deliver oxygen, drugs,anesthesia, or any other fluid. Medical tubes have exceptionalchemical, thermal, and mechanical properties, and are used in a widerange of minimally invasive critical applications such as drugdelivery, stent delivery systems, cardiovascular catheters, andurological retrieval devices. Therefore, with the increasing numberof minimally invasive surgeries, demand for medical tubes is alsoincreasing with a rapid pace, driving the growth of the MedicalTubing Market.
Forexample, in June 2021, Preceptis Medical announced the launch of itssecond-generation Hummingbird tympanostomy tube system foroffice-based pediatric ear tube procedures. The Hummingbird enablessurgeons to deliver an ear tube with a single pass, which is animportant improvement over conventional instruments and allows forefficient and predictable placement. Moreover, due to the continuousdevelopment of new and innovative products, the demand for oradoption of medical tubing for minimally invasive surgeries has alsoincreased.
Materialssuch as thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE), polyester, bioabsorbable polymers, polycarbonate (PC),thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene(PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and silicone are used in medical andpharmaceutical applications, such as feeding tubes, catheter,peristaltic pump tubing, urological retrieval devices, among others.Market players are also focusing on advancements of raw materials ofmedical tubing, as the materials vary with application and chemicalnature of the drug. This in turn is also expected to augment thegrowth of the Medical Tubing Market.
