DISADVANTAGES OF TUBING BANDING WITH PE FILM

PE film, although a versatile and resistant material for medical tubing banding, has some disadvantages to consider:

  • Difficult removal on irregular surfaces: PE film can be difficult to remove if applied to corrugated or wavy tubing and may require the use of sharp tools.
  • Not suitable for high temperature applications: PE film may deform or melt if exposed to very high temperatures.

 

In conclusion, PE film is a versatile and reliable option for medical tubing banding. Its properties of strength, flexibility, and safety make it suitable for various applications in the medical field. In addition, its cost-effectiveness and excellent value for money make it a convenient choice for managing medical tubing.

However, it is important to note that the choice of material for medical tubing banding depends on various factors, such as the specific needs of the application and the characteristics of the tubing. It is therefore essential to evaluate advantages and disadvantages of the different options available on the market.
