SPECIALIST FOR HOSES FOR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
At GREMCO, we design, develop, produce and supply customized and special cables, cable harnesses, hoses and catheters for medical technology.
GREMCO already has many years of experience as a manufacturer of a wide variety of protective hoses used in medical technology. We are able to supply both, complete system solutions and custom-made products. Our heat-shrink tubing, multi-lumen tubing and extrudates are successfully used in medical technology owing to their excellent chemical, thermal and physical properties. During production, we adhere to one clear demand: the highest development standards, the most state-of-the-art, economical manufacturing methods and GREMCO’s exemplary reliability. Ask us today!
THE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY EXPERTS
Alongside wire harnessing, we are also experts in media-carrying systems. Our range of products comprises single- and multi-lumen catheter tubes made from all conventional materials as well as thin, flexible and yet especially resistant silicon and fabric-reinforced tubing. These, and multi-chamber tubing, are just a few of the outstanding products, which we produce in close collaboration with our international cooperation partners.
A CUSTOMIZED PRODUCT PORTFOLIO FOR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
With more than three decades of experience in the field of medical technology, we have successively built up a specialized product portfolio for medical technology and have in-depth expertise in production as well as applications and customer requirements in this market segment. Some of our products for medical technology are manufactured in clean room production and meet the high requirements of medical technology. Our product portfolio includes:
- Shrink tubing for medical technology
- Medical tubing and catheters
- General tubing for use in medical technology
- Special cables and special cables for use in medical devices
Our range of general medical tubing includes single and multi-lumen products made from a variety of materials: PTFE, PFA, polyurethane, to name but a few. They are used either as consumables for production or as components of medical devices.
