Extrusion facility

We provide our customers with high quality, innovative products that are manufactured using all common polymers and elastomers and help to cater for the sick and injured.

With its own research and development as well as engineering, RAUMEDIC develops custom products and manufactures them at its headquarters in Münchberg, Bavaria and other manufacturing locations in Feuchtwangen/ Bavaria and Zwönitz/Saxony. RAUMEDIC has its own worldwide sales network and is represented in selected markets by its own subsidiaries. In 2004, RAUMEDIC AG was split off as an independent medical technology company from REHAU AG + Co, which has been manufacturing in the field of polymer processing in Bavaria, Germany since 1948. RAUMEDIC thus combines decades of tradition and experience in medical technology with the efficiency and dynamism of a newly founded modern company.

Headquarters in Münchberg

RAUMEDIC offers polymer and elastomer product concepts in:

• Extrusion
• Injection moulding
• Assembly

for all application areas within the medical technology and pharmaceutical industries. With our own material research, design, prototyping, application and process technology, we develop innovative and high-quality customised solutions.

RAUMEDIC has significant manufacturing know-how in the areas of extrusion, precision injection moulding and assembly of medical components and systems, operating from a 5,500m² class 10,000 clean room (DIN EN ISO14644 level 7) at the headquarters in Münchberg and 1,000m² at Feuchtwangen. This is one of the largest medical clean-room facilities in Germany. RAUMEDIC additionally has a material compounding facility for customising materials to exact customer requirements and customer-specific developments.

With available extrusion techniques we are able to produce multilayer tubing with up to four different materials, as well as the production of micro tubing with radiopaque stripes or the production of multi lumen tubings with up to 13 lumens. In the field of micro extrusion RAUMEDIC produces tubing with a dimension of 0.10 mm and a wall thickness of 0.04mm. This corresponds to the thickness of a human hair (0.04 mm – 0.12 mm). RAUMEDIC injection moulding stands for smallest dimensions, tightest tolerances and crucially functional requirement for individual customer needs. RAUMEDIC annually produces several million moulded parts with weights between 4 mg and 200 g. RAUMEDIC’s two shot component injection moulding techniques, over-moulding to tubing as well as fully automated assembly systems enables RAUMEDIC to produce complex customer specific medical devices.

For further processing of our tubings and components RAUMEDIC has wide ranging assembly possibilities, eg punching, printing, thermoforming, assembly/bonding, packaging and microchip technology. Our product portfolio varies from common cut length, tubing sets and catheters to electronic measuring instruments. In close cooperation to physicians RAUMEDIC develops and manufactures high precision pressure measure systems with microchip technology and a wide range of accessories for the indication fields Neuromonitoring, Urology, Gastronenterology, and Traumatology.

Finally, RAUMEDIC can offer you a one-stop development and manufacturing programme for medical tubing, injection moulding and full contract manufacturing services. Our engineers will work with you to advise on materials, design and construction, together with packaging and sterilisation. The service includes full project management and commercial support for the project, drawing up full validation protocols and quality plans for ongoing testing of the product. We are able to offer full regulatory support and documentation to enable you to CE mark your medical device.
