Is there any difference between pharmaceutical grade silicone tubings and medical grade silicone tubings?

Medical grade silicone tubing and pharmaceutical grade silicone tubing are sanitary hoses with good high temperature and low temperature resistance, and are widely used in the medical field. They are often used as connecting hoses for medical equipment or pharmaceutical plants and are ideal for fluid transfer in laboratories, biotechnology and pharmaceutical plants. Although they have many similarities in quality and grade, they also have many differences. The most important difference is the difference in usage requirements and usage environments.

Medical grade silicone tubing needs to meet medical grade requirements. It is mainly used for connection between medical equipment or direct contact with people. When used in medical equipment, it is widely used in oxygen ventilator, medical drainage tube, pharmaceutical equipment, infusion catheter and other equipment. The medical grade silicone tubing has high strength, tear resistance, strong resilience, and good physiological inertia. Non-toxic and tasteless, harmful to human body.

Pharmaceutical grade silicone hoses require hoses to meet hygienic standards. Compared with medical grade silicone tubing, it is mainly used for transporting organic solvents, strong acids, strong alkalis or extracts in large pharmaceutical equipment. Pharmaceutical grade silicone hose requires the hose to have certain high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance or acid and alkali resistance, and will not affect or react to the conveying medium. In addition to being used in pharmaceuticals and biomedicine, it is also widely used in cosmetics, food processing and other industries.
