Frequently asked questions
Is the tubing designed for repeated sterilization?
Yes, the Graham-Field Latex Tubing is specifically designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining its high elasticity and memory. This ensures its durability and reliability across demanding clinical and laboratory settings.
The tubing is compatible with three primary sterilization methods:
- Autoclave (Steam under Pressure): It can withstand repeated sterilizations. The recommended cycle is 250°F for 20 minutes.
- Ethylene Oxide (EtO): Gas sterilization is fully compatible.
- Gamma Radiation (Cobalt 60): The tubing is compatible with recommended doses of 1.5 to 2.5 megarads. Caution: Do not radiate the tubing while it is in an elongated state.
Does the tubing maintain its elasticity after repeated use?
Yes, the Graham-Field Latex Tubing is designed with excellent elasticity, ensuring it maintains its memory even after repeated stretching.
Does this tubing use high-purity latex?
Yes, the Graham-Field Latex Tubing is manufactured for high purity, making it ideal for sensitive applications such as medical, dental, laboratory, and food/beverage use. Its high quality and safety profile are ensured by several features:
- Extensive Treatment: The material is extensively leached, washed, and surface-treated to achieve a composition that is 99.9% protein-free.
- Seamless Lumen: The construction is seamless, guaranteeing an unobstructed passage for liquids or gases.
- Safety Compliance: The materials meet FDA Title 21 CFR requirements and have passed stringent USP Biological Reactivity Tests (Class VI), as well as Heavy Metals and Trace Metals tests.
Crucial Warning: This product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions.
