Superior Tube has a proud history of supplying precision implant and surgical tubes to medical device OEMs. For decades we’ve delivered medical tubes that meet the highest standards not only in strength-to-weight ratios, but also in terms of microbiological corrosion resistance and fatigue life.
That’s not the only thing that excites us. The medical devices we contribute not only help improve people’s health, but also transform and save lives.
Applications
Trusted and relied upon by Medical OEMs, Superior Tube combines its unrivaled metallurgical expertise and experience to create tubes with optimal properties for medical applications.
Alloys
Medical devices require precision alloys with the exact specifications necessary to perform consistently. And at Superior Tube, we offer both the alloys and the ability to customize them to the specs you need. Whether your medical device requires an alloy to be highly resistant to corrosion or to deliver excellent mechanical strength, we're able to make it happen.
Driving Medical Device Innovation
We’ve been innovating in the medical sector since the world’s first stent tube was drawn at our mill in the 1980’s.
Today, with medical device manufacturers continuing to reduce the size of their products, specialty small-diameter tubing is engineered to make this possible. Our engineering team fully understands the prototyping challenges in medical device manufacturing and is meeting those needs through rapid response initiatives.
We offer a variety of customizable high-quality surface finishes that enable implant surfaces to meet the highest quality standards, at the tightest of tolerances to help advance medical technologies.
