Speed 4 / Price 4 / Quality 4

Was looking for a vendor to provide tubing for a new microcatheter and contacted several vendors, including Microlumen, for samples. They sent samples quickly and weren't stingy with them.

Strengths: Great vendor for high performance plastic tubing (e.g., polyimide) when tight tolerances are a priority. Willing to provide samples for you to perform some preliminary testing before committing to a large order.

Needs to improve: None so far.

A few years ago they were one of the only companies making thin wall polyimide tubing. Now there are several other companies doing the same with the same quality and perhaps cheaper. When I did order tubing from them, I was pleased with they're product.

Strengths: High tolerance polyimide tubing manufacturing.

Needs to improve: They're expensive and have slow turn around.
