Why Invest in Blood Collection Tubes Manufacturing in Oman?

Oman’s Ministry of Health (MOH) has been actively encouraging local manufacturing of medical devices to reduce dependency on imports. This makes the country a strategic location for launching medical device production units like blood collection tubes.

Key Benefits:

  • Increasing demand from hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic labs
  • Reduced import reliance and logistics costs
  • Government support for medical device manufacturing
  • High ROI due to consistent demand

How Are Blood Collection Tubes Manufactured?

Manufacturing these tubes requires a clean, precise, and well-coordinated setup. Here are the 7 main steps:

  1. Cap and Stopper Assembly
    Rubber and plastic components are combined to form the tube caps, using automated machines with either a push-down or up-press method.
  2. Labeling
    Labels are applied using automatic systems to ensure each tube is traceable and easily identifiable—key for lab accuracy.
  3. Dosing Additives
    Anticoagulants or clot activators are dosed into each tube with high precision to ensure consistency.
  4. Capping the Tubes
    The tubes are sealed tightly using machines to keep them sterile and contamination-free.
  5. Centrifugation
    Tubes are spun to distribute additives evenly inside, which helps the additives work effectively during blood collection.
  6. Shrink Packaging
    Tubes are bundled in trays and shrink-wrapped—or sometimes aluminum-plastic packed—for safe transport and storage.
  7. Final Packaging
    After quality checks, the tubes are packed in cartons and quarantined for final inspection before release.
