Tygon ND-100-65 tubing, medical use, d. 2.40 +/-0.07x5.60 +/-0.12 ep. 1.60mm St. GOBAIN

Specifications

Tygon ND-100-65, one of the medical industry's first DEHP-free tubing offerings, has been specifically formulated to meet the demanding challenges of applications such as dialysis, chemotherapy drug delivery, and minimally invasive surgeries. Tygon ND-100-65 is a DEHP-free replacement for Tygon S-50-HL medical tubing.

Characteristics:
From open heart surgery to dialysis, ND 100-65 tubing has been specially formulated for medical device manufacturers that require a non-DEHP plasticized material. ND 100-65 sets the new standard for performance and durability in blood contact applications. Based on a unique chemistry developed by Saint-Gobain, TYGON ND Series tubing was formulated to be REACH compliant for DEHP. To ensure compliance, each individual compounded lot is tested to ensure DEHP levels are <1000 ppm. During the extrusion process, individual product dimensions are maintained and monitored via inline micrometers and offline verification with computerized imaging equipment.

Consistent with many medical tubing requirements, ND-100-65 material can be effectively bonded/welded using the following methods: heat, electronic (RF)/ultrasonic, solvent, and adhesive. Factors to consider when selecting components include: security of the required bond, effect on the integrity of the materials to be joined, and the presence of residues or extractables that may affect biocompatibility. When joining procedures are not used, mechanical clamps are recommended to provide secure fixation.

Biocompatibility
TYGON ND 100-65 is made from a non-DEHP biocompatible polymer material developed specifically for the needs of blood contact medical devices. Meets USP Class VI, ISO 10993, European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.1.2 and European REACH requirements. It is also non-hemolytic and non-pyrogenic.
