Polygon Company 1/16" Wall PGP14F16

PolyMed® combines lightweight materials and strong physical characteristics, as well as radiolucent and dielectric properties, thin walls, rigidity and the ability to be sterilized. PolyMed® composite medical tubing meets this stringent criteria, while at the same time being competitive in price to stainless steel. Thermally insulating Unlike steel tubing, composites are comfortable to the touch and ready for immediate use without warming. Autoclaveable Unlike plastic tubing, Polygon medical composites can withstand a standard steam autoclave, yet are affordable enough to be disposable too. Better than steel Polygon composite tubing has a higher strength to weight ratio than steel. Smaller composite cannulas are possible due to this increased strength. Rigid PolyMed® is extremely rigid over the longer lengths required for S/I applications. Superb material resiliency Metals can become permanently bent after being pushed past yield strength, becoming unusable. Composite tubing is more resilient and springs back, which is especially useful in trocar assemblies or other applications where high force is required. Non-Conductive Polygon composite tubing is an electrically insulating material, eliminating the need to shrink-wrap. Polygon is the industry leader in providing double-insulation for handheld electric power tools. Those same dielectric properties work to reduce the risk of capacitance coupling and oxygen fires during electrosurgery for your product.
