  • Silicone elastomer meets USP Class VI requirements
  • Manufactured under strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in a controlled environment
  • Platinum cured for the highest degree of purity (least extractables)
  • Reusable - will withstand repeated sterilization (If exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced.)
  • Nonreactive to body tissues and fluids
  • Applications include pharmaceutical, biomedical, health and beauty, food, and beverage handling
Notes

SILCON MED-X tubing is made under strict accordance with FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and conforms to the biocompatibility requirements of USP Class VI.

SILCON MED-X’s surface properties resist sticking and encrustation and will not support bacteria growth. The tubing is soft, pliable, and contains no plasticizers which could leach out, causing flow contamination or tube hardening.

Other sizes and 60A durometer material are also available.

SILCON MED-X is not recommended for implantable or in-body uses.

Care is recommended in the selection and application of fittings and clamps as sharp barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the wall.

SILCON MED-X is supplied in individual, heat-sealed polybags and should be sterilized prior to use.
