As a result, product design and development have become more complex, including tubing components. The thermoplastic tubing market continues to expand due to the rapid growth of minimally invasive interventional therapies such as endovascular, cardiovascular, diagnostic, endoscopy, electrophysiology, structural heart, and other delivery systems.
