Deformable medical silicone-rubber extruded tubing for fluids - has internal intersecting radial webs made of silicone rubber and preventing tubing collapse and providing several fluid or optical channels

摘要

The deformable tubing or hose has webs on its inside to support its walls. The webs (13, 15) divide the tubing into several channels (19) and protect the tubing from bending and collapse. The tubing (11) and its webs are made of silicone rubber. The webs arrangement consists of two orthogonal webs lying in radial planes and dividing the tubing into four channels. The web arrangement may consist of more than two intersecting webs in radial planes. There nay be 3 channels formed by intersecting radial webs. The tubing and webs are made in one piece by extrusion. Different channels may carry different fluids and also optical or electrical lines. ADVANTAGE - Rugged. Does not collapse when evacuated for sterilisation.
