DEHP-Free and Phthalate-Free Medical Tubing
Homepage » News » DEHP-Free and Phthalate-Free Medical Tubing
Grayline Inc. has introduced flexible, medical grade PVC tubing products that are either Phthalate-Free or DEHP-Free. Flexible PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is produced by mixing a rigid PVC resin with a blend of plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers and pigments. Tubing materials become softer and more flexible as the percentage of plasticizer is increased because they interfere with rigid bonds and allow polymer chains to move and flex. DEHP and other phthalate plasticizers have commonly been used in medical grade PVC tubing, but are now being restricted across the industry.
Grayline has responded by offering Non-Phthalate and Non-DEHP PVC tubing options that have met the needs of many medical device customers. Grayline NP80 tubing is made from ingredients that are approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and contains less than 1000 ppm (parts per million) total phthalate content. Grayline also offers Grayline GS70 and Grayline GS80 medical grade tubing products that are Non-DEHP and can be sterilized using EtO, autoclave, or gamma radiation sterilization methods. Grayline medical tubing can be used in a wide variety of applications such as negative pressure wound drains, insufflation tubing, infant care/breast milk pump tubing, suction, extension, oxygen and drain lines, protective coverings and many more.
