With the development of medical technology, platinum vulcanized silicone hoses have replaced ordinary silicone hoses and become the mainstream of medical equipment.
In general, ordinary silicone hoses adopt ordinary silicone and traditional vulcanizing agents. The cost price is relatively low. But after using it for a period of time, it will slowly turn yellow. Its physiological inertness will also weaken during long-term use. In the medical field, medical personnel have very high requirements for sanitary hoses. It must ensure no harm to human tissue. And it will not cause foreign body reaction after being absorbed into human tissue. The requirements that ordinary silicone hoses can meet are far from enough. The increasingly popular platinum vulcanized silicone hose adopts high-grade imported silicone raw materials and two-component addition vulcanizing agent. Compared with other hoses, it is eco-friendly, efficient and odorless. It has a high level of hygiene, and the hose is clear, anti yellowing, non-toxic and odorless. Besides, it resists biological aging with a long service life.
Now, this kind of silicone hose has been widely used in major medical institutions. However, the more popular a product is, the more people pay attention to it, and some unscrupulous merchants take advantage of this opportunity to resell fake and shoddy hoses. Then we must guard against being deceived. When purchasing, you should choose those regular suppliers. Orientflex is a manufacturer specializing in the production of sanitary hose. Besides, we have third-party certification to ensure non-toxic and eco-friendly.
