Silicone Tubing for Medical Industry
When it comes to saving an individual’s life or conducting any medical procedures, medical and surgical instruments play an essential role. These tools and equipment can be anything ranging from complex digital monitoring systems to small syringes and scissors. The tools used in any healthcare setting are required to be made using precise machines and high-quality components as they cannot have any imperfections.
One of the major components used in medical tools and equipment is Silicone products. Silicone tubing, because of its unique biocompatibility and physical durability, plays a fundamental role in a countless number of healthcare applications such as feeding pumps, drug-dispensing equipment, catheters, diagnostic equipment, disposable fluid transfer manifolds and closure assemblies, filtration gaskets, dialysis machines and processing equipment.
Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical develops, manufactures, and supplies tubing & hose for medical and pharmaceutical applications in a variety of high-performance materials. The tubing and hose are extruded in clean-room facilities using Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) that meet U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI standards. These silicone products are compatible with the extreme temperatures, steam and aggressive chemicals associated with Sterilization-in-Place (SIP) and Clean-in-Place (CIP) regimes.
