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
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
Frequently Asked Questions -
1. What is Graham-Field Penrose Drainage Tubing used for?
Graham-Field Penrose Drainage Tubing helps with the drainage of body fluids and gases. It gives a clear and visible liquid-flow line for observation.
2. What is Penrose Drainage Tubing made of?
This Penrose drainage tubing is made of natural rubber (latex) and polyisoprene rubber.
3. Can this tubing be sterilized?
Yes. The tubing can be sterilized using autoclave, ethylene oxide, or gamma radiation methods.
4. How long will the tubing maintain its flexibility after stretching?
The tubing remains flexible despite being stretched several times because of its elastic memory.
5. Can fluid flow be clearly seen in the tubing?
Yes, the tubing is designed to enable easy visibility of the line of liquid-flow when using.
6. Does the tubing securely connect to medical equipment?
Yes, it provides high gripping power that enables it to firmly attach to connectors, making it secure and reliable.
7. Can the tubing be used repeatedly?
Yes, it is designed to endure multiple sterilizations. It has elastic memory and does not lose its shape or performance, even after it has been stretched several times.
