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. Good Manufacturing Procedures, 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.
Custom sizes, colors, and platinum
curing (for reduced extractables) are available through
minimum order.
Note: SILBRADE MEDICAL is not recommended for implantable or in-body uses or for continuous steam applications.
