SMC Coupling For Medical Applications

Shah Brothers offers SMC Coupling For Medical Applications from Colder Products Company (CPC). The twist-to-connect coupling, featuring a new 5 mm hose barb size, enables tubing to rotate freely when connected, preventing tubing from kinking and accidental disconnections. The product is suitable for a wide variety of end applications, including blood pressure cuffs, surgical equipment, blood analysers, tube sets, and analytical instrumentation. The SMC product line presents a high-quality alternative to luer-type connectors in medical applications. The design facilitates free rotation of tubing, protecting the fluid flow path and preventing tubing from twisting or kinking. European legislation has prohibited luer connectors in blood pressure monitoring systems in order to prevent accidental misconnection of blood pressure and IV lines. Made from Acetal material, the SMC coupling incorporates an O-ring seal for a leak-free connection. The connection"s shutoff valves stop flow automatically when the coupling halves are disengaged. Operating pressures range from vacuum to 100 PSI and operating temperatures range from -40°F to 180°F (-40° C to 82 °C). In addition to the new 5 mm hose barb, the SMC coupling is available in 1/16 inch, 1/8 inch, and 3 mm hose barb sizes.
