PharMed
PharMed is a type of tubing used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries for its superior performance in peristaltic pumps. It is known for its long flex life and resistance to the harsh chemicals often used in these industries.
Overview[edit | edit source]
PharMed tubing is made from a specially formulated thermoplastic elastomer. It is designed to have a long flex life, which means it can be flexed and bent repeatedly without breaking. This makes it ideal for use in peristaltic pumps, which work by squeezing the tubing to move fluids.
PharMed tubing is also resistant to many of the harsh chemicals used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. This includes acids, bases, and solvents. This resistance helps to ensure that the tubing does not degrade or break down over time, which could potentially contaminate the fluids being pumped.
Applications[edit | edit source]
PharMed tubing is used in a variety of applications in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. These include:
- Peristaltic pumps: PharMed tubing is commonly used in peristaltic pumps due to its long flex life and chemical resistance.
- Drug delivery systems: PharMed tubing can be used in drug delivery systems to ensure that the drugs are delivered safely and effectively.
- Biopharmaceutical manufacturing: PharMed tubing is used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes where it is important to maintain the purity of the product.
Advantages[edit | edit source]
There are several advantages to using PharMed tubing in medical and pharmaceutical applications. These include:
- Long flex life: PharMed tubing can be flexed and bent repeatedly without breaking, making it ideal for use in peristaltic pumps.
- Chemical resistance: PharMed tubing is resistant to many of the harsh chemicals used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, helping to ensure that the tubing does not degrade or break down over time.
