TYGON ESTABLISHES THE
STANDARD
Since the first
open-heart surgery in the 1960s, doctors, surgeons
and other healthcare professionals have come to
recognize Tygon as the definitive tubing to use with
blood in peristaltic pump applications. Today, Tygon
S-50-HL continues to be the tubing of choice for
bypass procedures as well as for use in numerous
clinical, biological and pharmaceutical
applications. |

Tygon's unparalleled reputation for
consistent performance is the result of
controlling each formulation ingredient.

Originally developed for use in cardiac
surgery, TYGON® Medical/Surgical Tubing's
consistent quality provides dependable
performance in medical device applications.
With the increasingly
complex nature of medical devices used in
applications such as chemotherapy, dialysis and
minimally invasive surgery, highly specialized
modifications of Tygon healthcare tubings have been
developed to meet specific demands. While these new
challenges have broadened the Tygon family of
products, one thing has never changed: the high
quality and consistent performance of Tygon tubing.
Readily Bonded to
Simplify Attachment
A major factor when
selecting a tubing material is the type of component
parts to be bonded to the tubing. Effective bonding
of Tygon S-50-HL is easily accomplished using a
variety of methods including heat, electronic
(RF)/ultrasonic, solvent and adhesive. Factors to be
considered in selecting the components include
security of the bond required, effect on the
integrity of the materials to be joined and presence
of residues or extractables that may affect
biocompatibility. When bonding procedures are not
used, mechanical clamps are recommended to provide
secure attachment.
