Synthetic polymer tubing made of polyurethane, an elastomer also known as polyurethane rubber. Polyurethane tubing is typically a small-diameter, hollow, flexible or semirigid cylinder designed for the transfer of fluids, either liquids or gases. Polyurethane 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 in the healthcare facility, including the transfer of liquids between laboratory devices and/or when high resistance to oils and chemicals is needed.
