About
Kent is the largest manufacturer of dipped natural rubber latex tubing, offering a wide variety of sizes and colors. In addition, they manufacture an array of dip molded products produced in both natural rubber and non-latex compounds. |
Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) is a soft and flexible polymer with excellent physical properties, making it a good alternative for many latex or silicone tubing applications. FDA, NSF and USP Class VI material compounds are available for medical and food/beverage applications. |
Applications include medical, dental, exercise, therapy, food, and beverage. Where latex products are not recommended or are prohibited, they offer a complete line of non-latex tubing manufactured from TPE, which closely simulates natural rubber latex properties. |
PVC medical grade formulations range in durometers from 40 to 90 to meet a variety of medical or food grade applications. Kent PVC tubing meets FDA and U.S.P. Class VI requirements. It is non-toxic and inert, has superb clarity, and possesses good flame, tear and electrical resistance properties. |
Free-Band® latex-free surgical tourniquet bands are manufactured from a proprietary blend of materials specifically chosen to provide physical properties that closely resemble those of latex without the concerns of latex sensitivity. |
