Swelling fluids are most commonly used by companies that specialize in designing and building complex medical devices including venous access devices, drainage catheters, dialysis machines, infusion pumps, oxygen masks, enteral feeding devices, and other devices that use hoses or tubes to transfer fluids, medications, gases, guide wires, cameras, or other materials.
Some of the more sophisticated devices feature state-of-the-art, multi-lumen tubing where multiple channels run inside a single tube, simplifying the devices’ operation. They often have smaller diameter and thinner-walled conduits, making them lighter and more flexible for easier handling, storing, and use.
