316LVM Medical Grade Stainless Steel Pipes 1mm-10mm,
Cost-Effective,Capillary precision tube for medical equipment
316LVM Medical Grade Stainless Steel Capillary Tubes (1mm–10mm OD) by Jiangsu China Steel Union Industrial Co., Ltd are ultra-precision, cost-effective solutions for minimally
invasive medical devices and diagnostic equipment. Manufactured
under ASTM F138 (ISO 5832-1) standards, these vacuum-melted (VM) tubes ensure
exceptional biocompatibility, low inclusion content, and resistance
to sterilization methods (autoclave, gamma radiation). The 316LVM
grade, with controlled carbon (≤0.03%) and ultra-low impurities,
minimizes ion leaching and thrombogenicity. Available in diameters
from 1mm to 10mm, these capillary tubes feature ultra-smooth
surfaces (Ra ≤0.2µm) and ±0.05mm tolerance for endoscopes,
catheters, and drug delivery systems.
