Respiratory tubing assembly for production programs
Respiratory device programs require stable connector dimensions, controlled assembly quality, reliable airflow performance and cleanroom packaging. VEM is suited for production programs that need an experienced Asia manufacturing base, not early-stage prototyping.
Respiratory connector and tubing manufacturing capabilities
VEM combines molded connector production, tubing preparation, overmolding, assembly, testing and cleanroom packaging for respiratory medical device components.
Injection molded connectors
Connector components produced with controlled dimensions, clean molding practices and tooling support from VEM Shenzhen.
Tubing assembly
Tubing cutting, connector assembly, bonding, gluing, UV curing, packaging and cleanroom assembly for respiratory systems.
Medical connector overmolding
TPE overmolded connectors, sealing features, soft grip areas and functional overmolded interfaces for respiratory assemblies.
Testing and inspection
Airflow testing, leak testing, pull-force testing, dimensional inspection and visual inspection based on customer requirements.
Printing and marking
Printing and marking support for tubing systems and connector assemblies where identification or assembly control is required.
Supplier network
Support for sourced tubing, sourced components and sterilization partners where the final respiratory assembly requires external processes.
Medical connector overmolding and assembly support
VEM manufactures respiratory connectors and tubing systems that require controlled fit, consistent assembly and functional overmolded features. Typical work includes molded connectors, sourced or prepared tubing, TPE overmolding and cleanroom assembly.

Materials for respiratory connectors and tubing systems
Material selection depends on the application, regulatory expectations, airflow requirements and assembly method. VEM supports common medical plastic and elastomer materials used in respiratory components.
PVC tubing
Used for flexible respiratory tubing systems where suitable for the customer’s product and regulatory requirements.
PP and PC
Common materials for rigid connector components, housings, interfaces and molded respiratory device components.
TPE and TPV
Used for overmolded connector areas, sealing features, soft-touch surfaces and functional flexible features.
ISO 13485 quality support for respiratory device components
VEM supports respiratory medical device customers with ISO 13485 production controls, traceability and validation support. The documentation scope is defined together with the customer based on the device, risk level and project requirements.
- ISO 13485 quality management system
- IQ, OQ and PQ support
- Process validation support
- CPK studies where required
- ERP-based lot and batch traceability
- Customer audits welcomed as standard practice
Manufacturing transfer and cost reduction support
Many respiratory programs come to VEM because of capacity limitations, assembly quality issues, cost reduction targets or the need for a reliable Asia-based production partner. VEM can review existing tools, assemblies and supplier setups for transfer opportunities.
- Transfer tool review and production transfer support
- In-house tool maintenance and correction support
- Supplier network for tubing and purchased components
- Partners for sterilization where required
- Production setup in Thailand for global OEM programs
