How to Measure OD, ID, Wall Thickness, and Concentricity in Nitinol and Metallic Medical Tubing

Nitinol hypotubes in multiple diameters for medical tubing OD, ID, wall thickness, and concentricity measurement

Updated: June 13, 2026 Nitinol tubing is used in some of the most demanding medical-device applications. Depending on the component, a small dimensional inconsistency can create problems during laser cutting, encapsulation, assembly, or final device performance. The same is true for stainless-steel hypotubes, cobalt-chromium tubing, cannulas, and other rigid metallic tubing used throughout the MedTech […]
