Medical device manufacturing tubing Imavac-C™

siliconestainless steeltransparent

Product Overview
Imavac-C™ is an inner smooth-bore, outer convoluted, platinum-cured silicone hose reinforced with SS316L helical wire. It is lightweight, offers improved transparency to visualize flow and provides enhanced kink resistance. Imavac-C™ is designed for material transfer under high vacuum in the pharmaceutical industry and is available with antistatic properties.
