The support (341) is mounted on the three-way moving module (33). The adjustment seat (342) is vertically rotatably mounted on the support (341). The adjustment member (343) is mounted on the support and is used to drive the adjustment seat (342) to rotate. The clamping part (344) is mounted on the adjustment seat (342) and is used to clamp the medical catheter.

4. The concentricity testing device for medical catheter manufacturing according to claim 3, characterized in that: The adjustment seat (342) is provided with a cleaning component (8) for cleaning medical test tubes. The cleaning component (8) includes a cleaning cover (81), a control component (82), a blower (83), and a suction fan (84). The cleaning cover (81) is slidably disposed on the adjustment seat (342) toward the clamping part (344). The control component (82) is disposed on the adjustment seat (342) and is used to drive the cleaning cover (81) to slide. The blower (83) and the suction fan (84) are both disposed on the cleaning cover (81).

5. The concentricity testing device for medical catheter manufacturing according to claim 1, characterized in that: The rotating mechanism (5) includes a linkage shaft (51), a linkage gear set (52), and a rotating motor (53).
