Designed to Maintain Fluid Purity Under
Pressure
Braid reinforced for
increased pressure resistance, Tygon® 3370 I.B.
silicone hose is frequently specified in the most
demanding applications requiring sanitary transfer
of fluids. Its smooth inner surface reduces the risk
of particle entrapment and inhibits microscopic
bacterial build-up. Cleaning and sterilization
cycles also may become more effective from this
smooth inner surface by helping to prevent excessive
residue buildup during use. Additionally, an
improvement in fluid flow characteristics may occur
from the reduced surface area and lowered absorption
of fluids to the wall.
Tygon® 3370 I.B. can
easily withstand repeated SIP and CIP cleaning and
sterilization cycles, making it ideal for repeat-use
applications. Its flexibility, durability, chemical
and temperature resistance provide a unique
combination of characteristics required in many
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, laboratory, food,
beverage, cosmetic, environmental, and industrial
applications.
Lower Extractables and Exceptional
Biocompatibility
Tygon® 3370 I.B.
silicone hose is produced from a platinum curing
process to meet the most demanding requirements of
biocompatibility.
In-house
extractability tests have shown that Tygon® 3370 I.B.
hose has a low extractable content. Lower
extractables help to maintain the purity of
transported fluids in sensitive applications.
Tygon® 3370 I.B. hose
complies fully with the requirements of the USP
Class VI Criteria and is entirely non-toxic,
non-hemolytic and non-pyrogenic. Continued
monitoring of the hose also ensures minimal
bioburden levels are maintained. Tygon® 3370 I.B.
hose also meets 3- A Sanitary Standard No. 18-01 and
FDA 21 CFR Part 177.2600 Criteria.
