MT5000 Altera medical-grade, flexible, polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing Altera MT5000 heat-shrinkable tubing and identification for many medical Altera MT5000 tubing may be is flexible tubing with a single-wall components and devices. A few sizes sterilized by radiation and ethylene construction. It is especially can cover a wide range of substrates. oxide with no significant change in suitable for applications requiring properties. It is fabricated from excellent electrical insulation Altera MT5000A tubing provides materials that meet the requirements performance and resistance to an inner layer of adhesive. of U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI abrasion and harmful solvents. During installation, the USP Class VI plastics (contact with injectables and adhesive layer will reflow around the body fluids or tissue). Altera MT5000 tubing can provide substrate to provide sealing or electrical insulation, mechanical blocking against fluids and other protection, strain relief, color coding, bioburden materials.
