Medical equipment manufacturers increasingly require tubing materials capable of maintaining consistent performance throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Although oxygen itself is non-corrosive, oxygen delivery systems require tubing materials that exhibit:
Many standard silicone tubes provide excellent flexibility but may deform when subjected to repeated pressure cycles. Reinforced silicone tubing provides an effective balance between flexibility and structural integrity.
A medical industry distributor approached CJAN with the following requirements.
Medical Equipment
Internal oxygen transfer within healthcare equipment
Medical Oxygen (O₂)
5.5 psi (0.38 bar)
12°C–32°C
Polyester fiber reinforced silicone hose
From an engineering perspective, this application does not involve high pressure or elevated temperatures.
However, medical devices typically require tubing that can withstand:
Using ordinary silicone tubing could increase the risk of:
For these reasons, reinforced silicone tubing offers a more robust engineering solution.
For this application, CJAN recommended the PF Platinum-Cured Polyester Fiber Braid Reinforced Silicone Hose.
Platinum curing produces a cleaner silicone material compared with peroxide-cured alternatives.
Benefits include:
The embedded polyester braid significantly improves mechanical strength while preserving flexibility.
Advantages include:
Medical equipment often contains compact internal layouts.
The flexible reinforced hose:
Although operating pressure is only 5.5 psi, reinforced tubing offers:
Operating temperature:
12–32°C
The PF hose easily operates within this range while maintaining flexibility and mechanical stability.
| Parameter | Customer Requirement | CJAN Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Industry | Medical Equipment | ✔ Suitable |
| Medium | Oxygen | ✔ Compatible |
| Pressure | 5.5 psi | ✔ Ideal |
| Temperature | 12–32°C | ✔ Excellent |
| Flexibility | High | ✔ Excellent |
| Reinforcement | Required | ✔ Polyester Braid |
| Material | Silicone | ✔ Platinum-Cured Silicone |
For medical device manufacturers, tubing material selection affects:
Platinum-cured silicone offers several advantages:
These characteristics make it a preferred choice for oxygen transfer systems operating under low-pressure conditions.
