KIMES 2026 — we took catheter tubing to COEX

We exhibited at KIMES 2026, the 41st international medical and hospital equipment show. Many booth conversations turned into specification inquiries with drawings afterwards, and those questions became this site’s FAQ and inquiry guide.

Show samples — medical tubing
Show samples · photo to be replaced

Questions we heard most

  • Small-bore PEEK — straightness tolerance, price and MOQ around ID 2 mm · OD 2.5 mm
  • Replacing a PEEK tube already in use — equivalent spec review from a drawing
  • Thin-wall (0.02 mm) PI tubing and PI braided tubing
  • Second source for PET heat shrink — with MSDS and biocompatibility report
  • UHMWPE liner for PFAS compliance

After the show

Most conversations ended with “we will send a drawing”, and within days inquiries arrived with drawings. The inquiry guide is the list of what we need to give a first reply within a day. Questions from the show are also reflected in each product page’s FAQ.

Next show dates and booth photos will be added here. If you need samples or materials from the show, use the contact page.
