The medical device industry is continuously advancing the standard of care for patients. As new procedures, devices, implants and therapeutics come to market, one of the primary objectives is to develop systems that are as minimally invasive as possible. Novel technologies require high-performance delivery systems today more than ever.

In our new white paper, we detail several factors to consider when designing reinforced catheters and delivery systems, including tensile strength, ovalization resistance, torsional rigidity, flexural rigidity, and profile.

Single-use tubing connectors are important components in an industry where contamination is a major concern. Our single-use plastic connectors are safe to use, intuitive, and cost-effective. Perhaps the most significant advantage of Nordson MEDICAL's single-use connectors is the reduction of contamination. Single-use greatly reduces the risk of infection and the transmission of disease. User-friendly designs make the components easy to use, and the availability of multiple color options helps users quickly identify fluid lines. Cleaning and sterilizing components can be time-consuming and expensive. Single-use fittings don't require these timely cycles, decreasing your overall costs.

Many fluid management components are used in endoscopic devices used for examining digestive systems, identifying obstructions, and performing biopsies and other minimally invasive surgeries. When you require high quality and reliability, barbed check valves, luers, and tube-to-tube fittings from Nordson MEDICAL exceed expectations.

Barbed Check Valves — Barbed check valves from Nordson MEDICAL feature 3/32" (2.4 mm) and 1/8" (3.2 mm) single barb ends in barb to barb straight through, reducing, and barb to male/female luer configurations with more precise, lower crack pressures and higher flow rates. They provide a reliable mechanical connection and reduce the risk of contamination.

Luer Fittings — Nordson MEDICAL's luer fittings come in over 100 configurations for joining tubing from 1/16" (1.6 mm) ID to 1/4" (6.4 mm) ID and include many color options.

Tube-to-Tube Fittings — We offer over 100 configurations of barbed tube-to-tube fittings, including straight tube connectors, Y connectors, multiport connectors, elbow fittings, and tee fittings, all with reducer options. Sizes range from 1/16" (1.6 mm) to 1" (25.4 mm) ID.
