Punched and Skived

A Quick Look at Skived & Punched Tubing

Definitions: 
Skiving; punching a hole into a single lumen of a multi-lumen tube with the use of precision processing equipment while the remaining lumens are not disturbed.

Punching; putting a specific size hole or multiple holes into the wall of tubing. In some applications these holes may be introduced into the side of the tube while in other applications the punching mechanism may pass through to the other side of the tubing making an identical hole on  both sides of the tube.

FBK’s precision state of the art punching and skiving equipment can introduce single or multiple holes simultaneously. We can also rotate the tube so that the holes are placed at all positions around the tube or along the length of the tube.

Applications for Punched & Skived Tubing

Some of the applications in which punched and skived tubing is used are balloon catheters, enteral feeding tubes, wound drainage tubes, and a variety of sampling, feeding and infusion devices.
