MicroLumen Medical Tubing

What MicroLumen Medical Tubing does

MicroLumen, Inc. is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of high-performance medical and surgical tubing, founded in 1987 and headquartered in a 60,000 sq. ft. integrated facility in Oldsmar, Florida (relocated from Tampa in 2014). The company extrudes tight-tolerance tubing from advanced polymers — primarily Polyimide, PTFE, Polyurethane, Pebax, and Nylon — for medical devices that require mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties beyond what conventional plastic extrusion can deliver. Its product portfolio is organized around five categories: polyimide tubing, braid-reinforced tubing, PTFE/composite tubing, laser-machined tubing, and custom-engineered tubing, with secondary laser-machining capability used to add features such as holes, slots, and cut patterns.

The company serves medical device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as its single primary customer segment, operating a direct, sales-led go-to-market with quote-based custom pricing and a free sample-request program for product evaluation. It maintains ISO 13485:2016 certification for medical device quality management and distributes globally through direct enterprise sales, supplemented by participation in international medical technology trade shows in the United States, Germany, China, and Ireland. Revenue is generated one-time per order on a custom-quote basis with multi-year contract cadence implied by long device lifecycles.

MicroLumen is founder/management-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, venture capital, private equity, or parent company. The leadership team — Founder/CEO Roger Roberds, President Scott Roberds, VP of R&D Rod Peifer, VP of Finance Robin Reynolds, and VP of Operations Tim Lynch — reflects a family-led operating company that has remained private and organically funded across nearly four decades.
