Notes
SILBRADE MEDICAL's construction consists of a core of silicone
elastomer, an open polyester braid reinforcing layer, and a cover layer
of silicone elastomer. FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), including
lot traceability, are applicable to all Class VI ingredients. It is a peroxide-cured
product.
The hose's smooth bore, coupled with its resistance to
allow material to adhere to the tube wall, facilitates easy cleaning and
system purging.
SILBRADE MEDICAL may be low pressure sterilized in-line
or autoclaved up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if
exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or
pressure, will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced.
Care is recommended in the selection and application of
fittings and clamps for SILBRADE MEDICAL, as extremely sharp barbs or unlined
clamps could tear into the wall and possibly cause a failure, especially
at elevated pressures.
Peroxide cured SILBRADE MEDICAL hose is supplied in individual,
non-sterile, heat sealed polybags and should be sterilized prior to use.
For easy identification, SILBRADE MEDICAL is imprinted
with the trademarked name.
Custom sizes, colors, and platinum curing (for reduced
extractables) are available through minimum order.
Note: SILBRADE MEDICAL is not reccomended for implantable
or in-body uses. |
