Abstract
The tip and die for manufacturing multi-lumen catheter tubes should be designed considering the flow velocity of the molten polymer and the deformation of the final extruded tube. In this study, to manufacture non-circular double-lumen tubes for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), three types of tip and die structures are proposed. The velocity field and swelling effect when the circular tip and die (CTD) are applied, which is the commonly used tip and die structure, are analyzed through numerical calculation. To resolve the wall and rib thickness and ovality issues, the ellipse tip and die (ETD) and sub-path tip and die (STD) were proposed. In addition, based on the results of numerical analysis, the tip and die structures were manufactured and used to perform extrusion. Finally, we manufactured tubes that satisfied the target diameter, ovality, wall, and rib thickness using the newly proposed STD.
