High‑Performance Silicone Tubing for High‑Pressure Medical Applications
As medical devices evolve to deliver more precise, pressurized, and mission‑critical fluid control, the tubing that enables these systems must meet increasingly demanding performance expectations. To help device designers close the performance gap between traditional non‑reinforced tubing and braided hose, Saint‑Gobain Medical is proud to introduce the newest addition to our silicone tubing portfolio: Bio‑Sil® 1480 tubing.
Bio‑Sil 1480 is a high‑durometer (80 Shore A), non‑reinforced silicone tubing designed to deliver exceptional burst pressure, vacuum resistance, and low pulsation performance, making it ideal for next‑generation medical devices requiring reliable fluid handling under elevated pressure conditions.
Filling a Critical Gap
Across the medical device landscape, engineering teams are looking for tubing that can handle higher pressures, faster flow dynamics, and increased mechanical stress without the tradeoffs often associated with reinforced or traditional non‑reinforced options. Standard durometers can fall short in demanding environments, while fully braided tubing may introduce unnecessary cost and stiffness.
Bio‑Sil 1480 offers an effective middle ground. It delivers the elevated burst strength, improved pulsation stability, and full vacuum resistance required in high‑pressure systems, while preserving the transparency, flexibility, and ease of integration designers rely on. This balance makes Bio‑Sil 1480 a practical and powerful solution for applications where performance cannot be compromised.
Key Performance Advantages of Bio‑Sil 1480
- High Burst Pressure
- Lower Pulsation for More Accurate Pumping
- High Transparency and Low Extractables
- Fully Vacuum-Resistant Across All Standard Sizes
Where Bio‑Sil® 1480 Excels: High‑Pressure & High‑Demand Applications
BioSil 1480 is engineered for medical applications where tubing must withstand elevated pressure, pulsation, and vacuum conditions. These performance demands make it well‑suited for applications such as:
- High Pressure Fluid Transfer
- Surgical and Endoscopic Systems
- Respiratory & Ventilation Circuits
Ventilators
Anesthesia delivery systems
Neonatal respiratory equipment
High flow nasal cannula circuits
- Reagent, Chemical, or High Viscosity Transfer
Where kink resistance and collapse resistance are critical, especially in long or complex routing paths
A New Standard in High‑Pressure Silicone Tubing
With Bio‑Sil 1480, Saint‑Gobain Medical expands its silicone tubing portfolio with a unique, high‑performance solution for pressurized medical applications. Offering a powerful mix of burst strength, vacuum resistance, clarity, lower pulsation, and competitive cost, Bio‑Sil 1480 provides device designers the freedom to pursue new architectures without compromise.
If your next‑generation device demands more from its tubing, Bio‑Sil 1480 is ready.
