Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for fabricating flexible medical tubings comprising the steps of providing a tubing of a polymer material, the tubing having a longitudinal axis and an initial diameter, orienting the tubing along the longitudinal axis of the tubing to reduce the diameter of the tubing to define a oriented diameter, and applying heat to the oriented tubing to heat set the tubing to maintain dimensional stability of the tubing over a temperature to which the tubing will normally be exposed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for using medical tubing for infusing therapeutic fluids to a patient comprising the steps of: providing a medical tubing having a sidewall of a polymeric blend, the blend having a polymeric material in an amount by weight within the range of 99.999%-90.0%, and an additive in an amount by weight within the range of 0.001%-10%, the tubing having been oriented along a longitudinal axis of the tubing to define a oriented diameter that is less than a diameter of the tubing before orienting; and providing fluid under pressure through the tubing to the patient.
