Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest.

Latex Surgical Tubing versus Silicone Tubing?

  • Latex Surgical tubing comes in Black or Amber.  There is no difference in the properties of colors  —only your personal preference.

  • Silicone tubing has a better deterioration rate than surgical tubing but is surpassed by latex surgical tubing in elasticity, flexibility and gripping power.

  • Latex surgical tubing is flexible in sub zero temperatures, maintains memory after repeated stretching and has tremendous holding strength.

  • Elasticity - If you stretch 12 inches of silicone tubing, then release it, you will have 12+ or more inches of silicone. Not so with Latex Surgical Tubing; it will maintain its original length.

  • This fact will result in you having to replace your silicone tubing more often. Since silicone tubing is much more expensive than latex surgical tubing. Well, you get the idea!
