TRUSTED BY MANY

As early as 1902, Senior Flexonics, then known as “Chicago Tubing & Braiding Co.”, was closely tied to medical devices, specifically for the dental industry by developing a process to braid rubber tubing with silk and cotton yarn.

From this 100 year legacy, we understand that the manufacturer of a medical device has unique needs that are critical when the product is reviewed.  As part of our accomplishments, we have worked closely with our customers to develop components used in medical procedures such as bypass surgery, cardiovascular ablation and endoscopic surgery by providing them with various products including flexible metal tubing, medical grade cooling coils, and custom heat exchangers.
