Product Description
Tygon®
LCF Tubing
Tygon® LCF
is a specialized thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) tubing created by Saint-Gobain
Medical to fulfill the stringent demands of the medical sector. Designed for
both flexibility and durability, Tygon LCF boasts an exceptionally low
coefficient of friction (COF), making it suitable for applications that require
smooth, lubricated movement, such as endoscopes and fiber optic cables. In
contrast to conventional fluoropolymers, Tygon LCF can endure gamma
sterilization without losing its mechanical strength. Whether utilized in
tracheal insertion or urinary procedures, Tygon LCF tubing provides a soft,
flexible design that may enhance patient comfort—especially in minimally
invasive methods like Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery
(N.O.T.E.S.), which accesses the peritoneal cavity through natural openings.
