Synthetic polymer tubing made of vinyl. This tubing is typically a transparent, flexible, strong, hollow cylinder designed for the transfer of fluids, either liquids or gases; vinyl is chemically resistant to alkalis, oils, and some acids. Vinyl tubing is usually available in standardized lengths and in a variety of diameters and wall thicknesses (i.e., gauges) that permit the use of segments of different sizes appropriate for a given application (e.g., equipment tubing, general laboratory use) in the healthcare facility.
