Combining our parent company, New England Wire Technologies, custom cable manufacturing expertise with our extruded tubing capabilities, we can customize your tube with added elements such as ultra-miniature coaxial cables, high frequency cables, thermocouples, and high strength/high flex alloys to provide more functionality in the same tubular cross-section – critical for today’s minimally invasive surgeries. Our eTubing® designs can add analog and digital transmission of electrical signals for sensor capabilities, powering devices, and temperature/oxygen monitoring features by incorporating these customized wires or cables within the wall of the tube itself.
Typical Elements for Hybrid Tubing:
-
- Power supply
- Measuring/monitoring capabilities
- Signal carrying capabilities
- Strength members
- One or more lumen
Benefits:
-
- More functionality in the same cross-section
- Return signal wire
Applications:
-
- Handheld electrosurgical devices
- Cauterization
- Ultrasonic devices
- Monitoring devices
- Borescopes/endoscopes
- Power supply and cooling combinations
