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 recomended for implantable or in-body uses.
