As devices get smaller and more complex, MDMs rely on a greater variety of shapes and sizes of tubing. Device designers especially focus on increased functional capability, such as lumens with non-symmetric cross sections, surface modifications, and the integration of active additives, including antimicrobial agents or drugs.
