Medical-Grade Tubing

May 11, 2006
K-2170 Thermoplastic Rubber Tubing has a smooth, white surface, making it an alternative to Penrose tubing for feeding tubes and surgical drainage.

The thermoplastic rubber resists chemicals used in sterilization. The tubing also withstands 150°F and can be formulated for X-ray absorption. The extruded K-2170 tubing is dimensionally stable and free of powder and other contaminates.
