Versatile and flexible, surgical tubing can be a convenient addition to a medical supply cabinet. You can choose from a variety of styles to handle everything from setting up feeding systems to providing fluid suction in the operating room. Many tubing products come in continuous rolls, dispensing easily and efficiently.

Versatile Health Care

Surgical tubing is versatile enough for a variety of uses in a health care facility. General-purpose latex tubing can be used for emptying irrigation fluids during surgical procedures. You can pair tubes with ostomy supplies for effective waste drainage, or connect them to IVs to deliver medications and hydration and select tubing in a variety of interior diameters and wall thickness to provide the appropriate balance of weight and durability.

Flexible and Sturdy

Medical tubing can be flexible and sturdy enough to help increase the holding power where it's needed most. Many models can stretch and bend easily to accommodate medical equipment, bed frames and hanging devices. For applications that can require frequent stretching, look for tubing with high elasticity and excellent memory; these products snap back to their original shape and can be strong enough to hold accessories. Consider crush-resistant tubing for both mobile and bed-ridden patients, since it maintains its shape even under pressure, helping ensure a steady flow of fluids to an IV or drainage system.

Patient-Friendly Designs

You can keep patients comfortable during medical procedures or hospital stays with patient-friendly tubing. For those who require oxygen, consider a lightweight, soft-sided cannula tubing to help provide breathing assistance without causing undue friction on delicate facial skin. You can provide extra protection with foam ear wraps that sit under cannula tubing that can help protect patients from chafing and allowing a secure setup. When you need to attach tubes to a patient's skin, consider products with gentle adhesives that remove easily after use. For patients with latex allergies or sensitive skin, you can choose a flexible, latex-free plastic surgical tube.

Convenient Tubing Accessories

You can make the most of your surgical tubing with convenient accessories by setting up custom drainage systems with drain tube attachments; each one connects the tube to the patient's skin with a gentle adhesive, creating a secure hold and helping to protect the incision. For easy drainage control, choose a drain valve with a user-friendly lever. Help prevent contamination for people with a high risk of infection with sterile accessories. Most accessory products are designed for a specific tubing width to ensure a tight fit and efficient performance.

Ample Supply

Stock your surgical supply room with rolls of surgical tubing. Rolls can make it easy for workers to select the ideal length for any situation, which can help reduce waste and increase efficiency. You can choose large packs for high-volume facilities, or look for smaller rolls to cover occasional tubing needs. Many tubing accessories are sold individually to enable precise ordering.
