Graham-Field Penrose Drainage Tubing

Features of Penrose Drainage

• Sterilization Options
  I. Autoclave
  - Steam under pressure
  - Check with autoclave equipment manufacturer for recommendations
  • Tubing manufacturer experience is to use 250°F for 20 minutes
  • The product will withstand repeated sterilizations
  II. Ethylene Oxide
  - Humidity, gas, and heat sterilization process
  - Parts must be accessible to gas
  ​- Oxyfume gas: 12% EtO + 88% Freon
  III.Gamma
  - Cobalt 60 Gamma radiation penetrates our products easily
  - Do not radiate tubing in an elongated state
  - 1.5 to 2.5 megarads have little to no effect on our rubber recipes on these tubing
• Performance Characteristics:
  1. Elasticity: Memory is maintained even after repeated stretching
  2. Translucency and uniformity of color: Provides an unobstructed observation of liquid flow line
  3. Gripping power: Enables the tubing to grip tenaciously to connectors

What to buy with Penrose Tubing

• Bard Dispoz-A-Bag Leg Bags With Flip Flo Valve And Fabric Straps
• Hollister Leg Bag Straps
• Posey Urine Drainage Bag Holder

Why This Product Stands Out

• It is extensively leached, washed, and surface-treated for the purpose of minimizing detectable protein levels.
• Provides clear passage of liquids and/or gases due to seamless tubing free of any striations
• Maintains elastic memory even after repeated stretching
• Made with a translucent material supporting unobstructed observation of fluid flow
• Helps secure connections to connectors with strong gripping power
• Compatible with multiple sterilization methods, including autoclave, EtO, and gamma
• Built from natural rubber (latex) and polyisoprene rubber
• Designed for repeated sterilization without performance loss

FAQs

1. What material is the Penrose Drainage Tubing made from?

It is made from natural rubber (latex) and polyisoprene rubber.

2. Can this tubing be sterilized?

Yes. The tubing can be sterilized using autoclave, ethylene oxide, or gamma radiation methods.

3. How long will the tubing maintain its flexibility after stretching?

The tubing maintains its flexibility even after repeated stretching due to its elastic memory.

4. Does the tubing allow visibility of fluid flow?

Yes. The translucent design helps provide unobstructed observation of the liquid-flow line.

5. How does the tubing connect to other components?

The tubing has elastic gripping power that enables it to grip firmly to connectors.

6. Can the tubing withstand repeated sterilization cycles?

Yes. The product is designed to withstand repeated sterilizations.
