Super thin silicone tubing
The super thin silicone tubing is a specific item made for specific purposes. Because of the thickness of the walls, it gives space for a larger lumen which is beneficial in certain scenarios. The most common uses of the regular thin silicone tube are being a sleeve for wires and protecting them from heat and abrasion. However, super thin tubing is usually used for medical purposes. Starting from intubating materials which are meant to protect the integrity of the airway, to other invasive systems. In addition, these tubing items can be used in the protection of endoscopes to ensure sterile conditions.
Unlike the regular silicone tubes, which have a medium wall thickness, these items require much more work. The material is the same as the other tubing items, a rubber that has been synthetically altered to come up with silicone material. It has great thermal resistance, which is great for sterilizing the item after using it. In addition, flexibility is also important, so the tubes can be bent and adapted to the current conditions. However, besides all these functions, the tubes have to be checked by the agencies that ensure the safety of their use. It must not let off any substances or smells. Another benefit is that these tubes are usually transparent, so you can easily understand the nature of the biological material going through them.
Just like any other tubing, some measurements have to be made before ordering. Although the equipment comes with standard connections, it is better to ensure fitment. In addition, since not every patient is the same, there has to be super thin silicone tubing in various diameters. The thickness of the walls can be also determined. Some items go to the extreme with a thickness of just a millimeter. If you need any additional information that you want to acquire, both about the qualities of the tubes, or the potential uses, you should contact us. In addition, for any additional requests, like special sizes and coloring options available, we can produce them for you.

Discuss Your RequirementsProduct specifications
- Product form
- Hollow elastomer tubing for a fitted line or sleeve
- Material
- Silicone. Specify the compound grade for the selected service.
- Application focus
- Cable sleeving and medical-device assemblies. Size the part against the selected assembly.
- Dimensions to confirm
- Inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness and cut length. Match these to cable sleeving and medical-device assemblies.
- Wall control
- Dimension wall thickness separately from the bore; check the required bending behavior and connection fit at that thickness.
- Exposure to evaluate
- Rubbing or abrasion. Validate the selected material under the combined conditions.
- Cleaning and reuse
- Specify the cleaning or sterilization cycle discussed for the application, including temperature, duration and permitted reuse.
- Line layout
- Check bend radius, unsupported spans and clearance at both connections.
