Phthalate free medical gas hose
Recent directives have significantly limited the use of materials containing phthalates in items such as food tubing, infant feed bottles and teats as phthalates are perceived as a potential carcinogen. In PVC hoses, phthalates account for around 30% of the material and are required in the plasticiser to give the tubing its necessary elasticity and therefore suitability for use in operating theatres and bedside services. Purehose is a phthalate free medical gas hose. The polyurethane material used in its manufacture has the required flexibility as an inherent property, with no loss of strength or rigidity. This gas hose is fully compliant with all the most recent specifications and is available in a range of sizes and lengths, and in a variety of colours.
