The SILBRADE MEDICAL hose is made of a core of silicone elastomer, an open polyester braid reinforcing layer, and a cover layer of silicone elastomer. Lot traceability, are applicable to all Class VI ingredients.
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 steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax, become gummy, and should be replaced.
The peroxide-cured SILBRADE MEDICAL hose is supplied in individual, non-sterile, heat-sealed poly-bags and should be sterilized prior to use.
Note: SILBRADE MEDICAL is not recommended for implant or in-body uses. Care is recommended in the selection and application of fittings and clamps. Sharp, barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the hose wall and cause possible failure, especially at elevated pressures. |
