Description
The construction of Silbrade® Platinum involves a liner of silicone elastomer, an open polyester braid reinforcing layer, and a covering of silicone elastomer. The braided reinforcement allows for increased pressure usage over unreinforced silicone tubing, while the surface properties resist encrustation, which will not support bacteria growth. It is nonreactive to body tissues and fluids. Care is recommended in the selection and application of fittings and clamps as sharp barbed fittings, or unlined metal clamps could tear into the hose wall, possibly leading to hose failure. It is platinum cured for the highest degree of purity. The hose is reusable and will withstand repeated sterilization. The tube should not be used for steam transfer or continuous steam operations. Steam-for-sterilization is the only recommended exposure to steam. It is made in the USA.
