ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for fabricating flexible medical tubings comprising the steps of providing a tubing of a polymer material, the tubing having a longitudinal axis and an initial diameter, orienting the tubing along the longitudinal axis of the tubing to reduce the diameter of the tubing to define a oriented diameter, and applying heat to the oriented tubing to heat set the tubing to maintain dimensional stability of the tubing over a temperature to which the tubing will normally be exposed.
