Medical device manufacturing tubing MicroFree

PVCtransparent

MicroFree tubing as compared to PVC piping has a lower potential for buildup of biofilm because it has a lower surface tension for water, reducing opportunity for biofilm to attach. As a result, biofilm is more easily removed due to the smooth surface. Independent studies have demonstrated that PFA materials have a higher resistance to biofilm buildup and is far easier to clean than other materials. Standard Features • Smooth wall prevents biofilm buildup and reduces pressure drop, saving energy • Up to 75% faster rinse out of chemical sanitizers • Fewer and cleaner fittings/couplings • Compatible with all approved disinfection methods • 510(k) Regulatory recognition • Specially designed light-blocking shield • 50% faster installation over typical PVC material • Zero Dead Leg (ZDL) wall box connection • Use in both water and bicarbonate distribution systems De-chlorinated, warm water environments will always support micro-biological growth. Uncontrolled biological growth will lead to the formation of biofilm in clinic distribution systems. The key is to use a design, materials and procedures that will minimize growth. Traditionally, clinics have used PVC piping systems. Although PVC was considered adequate in the past, current thinking is that PVC is not ideal for tighter bacteria control and it limits the type of sanitants that can be used. The reason for this is even properly installed PVC fittings can be susceptible to the development of biofilm. Biofilm is the root cause of bacteria problems. Biofilm is a community of microorganisms covered with a protective layer of slime that can attach anywhere; dead legs are particularly susceptible.
