Bio-Sil® 1480 Tubing

Bio-Sil 1480 translucent tubing

Bio-Sil® 1480 tubing is used in medical devices and diagnostic equipment that require high internal pressure or vacuum compatibility. Its robust silicone wall structure eliminates the need for reinforcement, making it ideal for reagent filling, suction systems, diagnostic manifolds, and balloon inflation lines. This tubing simplifies designs while meeting regulatory and durability expectations.

Bio-Sil 1480 Product Details

Features & Benefits

  • Replaces braided tubing in pressure-critical medical systems
  • Maintains integrity under deep vacuum and suction
  • Durable wall minimizes expansion and pulsation
  • Tubing has met various ISO 10993 criteria
  • Compatible with EO, gamma and steam sterilization
  • Custom size available

Typical Applications

  • Pressure and vacuum lines in medical devices that require high burst strength without added reinforcement
  • Fluid transport tubing in diagnostic instruments and lab analyzers, where clarity and silicone compatibility are key
  • Drainage and waste lines in systems exposed to fluctuating pressure or aggressive cycling
  • Tubing for pneumatic or mechanical actuation, such as valve control or air-driven functions in closed-loop systems
  • Compact device assemblies where flexible routing and kink resistance are needed in confined spaces
