Abstract:
The present invention relates to a flexible polymer-based microtube having an inner diameter of about 4 μm to about 1000 μm and a variable outer diameter, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the microtube can be, for instance, circular, rectangular, square, triangular, elliptical, star or irregular. The present invention also relates to a method of making the flexible microtube and devices incorporating the flexible microtube.
