Kink-Resistant Tubing

Medical silicone tubing often acts as a pathway for the introduction or elimination of fluids from the body. To effectively serve this purpose, medical tubing must meet a number of mechanical and functional requirements including adequate hoop strength, sufficient stiffness during insertion, and the flexibility to bend around and conform to various anatomical features. Manufactured using a proprietary winding and over-jacketing process, Trelleborg’s KRT balances flexibility and hoop strength while guaranteeing open-lumen integrity
