Capabilities
GenX Precision Extrusion
GenX Medical has secured many medical grade polymers that enable us to ship custom tubing to you within 5-7 business days. We also design and manufacture our own tooling that will be dedicated to your product and application. This ensures that the physical properties are customizable, repeatable and predictable between various lots.
At GenX Medical, we are always looking to expand our capabilities. Our current equipment enables us to achieve:
- Max OD (many polymers): 0.500"
- OD/ID tolerance (most polymers and sizes): +/- 0.0005"
- Wall tolerance (most polymers and sizes): +/-0.0003"
Normal services include:
- Micro-bore Extrusion
- Multi lumen Extrusion
- Pressure Extrusion
- Bump / Taper Extrusion
- Beading
- Wire Coating
- High Temp Extrusion
- Bioresorbable Extrusion

Single Lumen Tubing
Single lumen tubes are extrusions that contain one channel, or lumen, through the center of the tube. Our high quality custom tubing is perfect for balloons, catheters, feeding tubes, and other minimally invasive devices.
Multi Lumen Tubing
Multi lumen tubes are extrusions that contain multiple channels, or passages, through the length of the tubing. Whether you need a few lumens in a small diameter or multiple channels with tight tolerances, our experts can help. GenX Medical’s extensive extrusion knowledge assures no multi lumen design is too complex
Bump / Taper Tubing
Bump tubing, or taper tubing, are extrusions that vary in diameter through the length of the tubing. Our advanced extrusion knowledge and in-house capabilities enable our taper tubing processes to be repeatable and of the highest quality
Rod and Filament
Rods, filament, and beading are solid extrusions that are typically round and small in diameter
Bioresorbable Extrusions
Bioresorbable tubing are extrusions that are biodegradable, or naturally broken down over time. GenX Medical has the most extensive knowledge in the industry on extruding bioresorbable polymers.
