Silicone (Silastic®) Intravascular Tubing

This silicone tubing, made from Dow Corning Silastic®, is the same clear, platinum-cure material that has been implanted in laboratory animals for years. Sterilize using EtO gas or steam/autoclave. Available in spools of 15m (50ft). For laboratory research only.

Warnings: Fluids can evaporate through silicone tubing therefore it should not be used as an externalized catheter if fluid is not constantly flowing. Silicone tubing can slip off connectors and should not be used with Vascular Access Buttons or Harnesses.

Features and Benefits

• Inert
• Soft and flexible
