A polymer extrusion head for forming continuous shapes having one or more
lumens therein. The head includes an extrusion mandrel and die. At least
one lumen pipe is disposed radially through a port in the die to
intersect the polymer flow in the annular region between the tip and the
die. The lumen pipe is a welded assembly having a 90.degree. turn formed
as a mitered joint with zero bend radius. The lumen pipe is held in a pin
vise engaged in the die such that position of the lumen pipe may be
readily adjusted. Axial and radial positions are established during
assembly by means of a gauge block. A plurality of lumen pipes may be
accommodated for a plurality of lumens by a manifold distribution system
including individual lumen pipe assemblies.
