Component Supply hypodermic tubing is used extensively in medical device research and development, supporting design, prototyping, and validation activities that require tight dimensional control, material consistency, and reliable performance.
Needle and Cannula Development – Utilize hypotubes for prototyping and development where outside diameter, wall thickness, straightness, and surface finish impact device performance.
Catheter and Minimally Invasive Devices – Structural support, torque transmission, and fluid delivery within catheter systems and minimally invasive tools often require the use of precision hypotubes.
Endoscopic and Visualization Devices – Internal channels and structural components requiring smooth internal diameters and dimensional repeatability necessitate the use of hypotubes.
Drug Delivery and Fluid Management Systems – Controlled fluid transfer and dosing during development and validation.
Prototyping, Testing, and Design Verification (DV) – Commonly used in benchtop testing, proof-of-concept builds, and pre-production validation.
Aerospace – Fluid transmission lines and conduits for harsh operating environments.
Chemical Processing – Corrosion-resistant tubing for chemical fluid transfer.
Laboratory and Research – Chromatography tubing with specialized fittings; sharp and blunt needles for sample collection and dispensing.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – Precision pharmaceutical tooling and production equipment.
Tight hypotube dimensional control suitable for R&D and production transition
Consistent material quality and lot traceability
Stocked medical device hypotube sizes for rapid prototyping and short lead times
CS Custom Fab, the custom fabrication division of Component Supply, provides secondary operations for hypotubes to support medical device R&D, prototyping, and production transition.
Cutting – Precision cutting with standard tolerances of ±0.005″
Bending – Multiple and complex bends to customer-specified radii
Beveling – Per customer drawing and/or specification
Laser Welding – Component and subassembly welding
Notching – Per customer-designated locations
Flattening – Creates oval or flattened profiles
OD Grinding – Tightens outside diameter tolerances
Custom Dispensing Needles – Available in various lengths, wall thicknesses, and two hub options
Consistent with Component Supply’s focus on medical device research and development, CS Custom Fab maintains low order minimums and short lead times for fabricated hypodermic tubing parts. At the same time, we support the volumes, consistency, and documentation required as projects move from R&D into production.
Standard shop minimums typically begin at $250.
Project-specific quotes in 24 hours based on fabrication requirements
Volume pricing and expedite shipping programs available
Material certifications available upon request at no additional charge
