Shenzhen Forbest is a specialized manufacturer of Medical Silicone Tubing, serving the medical device and biopharmaceutical industries. Our focus is straightforward: deliver tubing with consistent purity, precise dimensions, and reliable performance
We use platinum-cured silicone and run a multi-step post-cure process. This gives you a product with very low extractables and a smooth inner bore—critical when dealing with sensitive biological fluids or high-purity drugs. Whether it’s for a peristaltic pump, a diagnostic analyzer, or a single-use bioprocessing assembly, this tubing is designed to maintain fluid integrity.
Medical applications place heavy demands on fluid path components. If the tubing fails or leaches contaminants, the consequences range from failed experiments to compromised patient safety. Shenzhen Forbest Medical Silicone Tube is built to handle that pressure.
Clean Manufacturing, Cleaner Tubing
We use a platinum-cured system. Compared to peroxide-cured tubing, this eliminates the risk of volatile breakdown products like DCP (dicumyl peroxide) leaching into your media. We also run an extended post-cure cycle on every batch. This step drives off low-molecular-weight siloxanes, giving you a very clean surface. For applications like cell culture or IV drug delivery, this low-extractable profile is non-negotiable.
Engineered for Peristaltic Pumps
If you are running this tubing on a pump, you need two things: good flow rate consistency and long tubing life. Our compound is formulated to offer good tear strength and elastic memory. It returns to its original round shape after the roller passes, which minimizes flow drift over time. You get fewer line failures and more predictable dosing.
Visual Clarity
The translucent finish is not just aesthetic. It lets operators see the fluid path. You can spot air bubbles, clots, or precipitates before they cause a problem. In critical care or compounding, that visual check adds an extra layer of safety.
Full Traceability
Every lot of Forbest Medical Silicone Tubing is traceable from raw material to finished spool. We maintain strict process controls and can provide validation documentation confirming USP Class VI and FDA compliance upon request.
Custom Configurations
Standard sizes are always in stock. But if your design calls for something specific, we can help.
-
Custom Dimensions: Need a specific ID/OD to match a custom luer or barb? We can extrude to your print.
-
Multi-Lumen Profiles: Running a catheter or a dual-channel diagnostic tool? We can produce complex cross-sections.
-
Color Coding: Need to identify lines quickly in a multi-tube setup? We can add a colored stripe or fully pigment the tubing.
Technical Specs & Size Guide
Not all silicone tubing is the same. Here is how our medical-grade product compares to standard commercial tubing, followed by our available size range.
Medical Grade vs. Commercial Grade
| Parameter | Shenzhen Forbest Medical Grade | Standard Commercial Tubing |
|---|---|---|
| Cure System | Platinum | Peroxide |
| Biocompatibility | USP Class VI, ISO 10993 | Not evaluated for medical use |
| Surface Quality | Smooth inner diameter | Can be rough, higher protein binding |
| Extractables | Very low (post-cured) | Higher potential for leachables |
| Typical Use | Drug contact, implantable contact, pumping | Air lines, fluid transfer, drainage |
Standard Size Chart
We stock tooling for a wide range of sizes. If you don’t see your dimensions here, contact us—we can likely make it.
| Inner Diameter (ID) | Outer Diameter (OD) | Wall Thickness | Common Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 mm | 1.5 mm | 0.5 mm | Micro-dosing, catheters, sensor interfaces |
| 1.6 mm | 3.2 mm | 0.8 mm | Infusion pumps, lab analyzers |
| 3.2 mm | 6.4 mm | 1.6 mm | Peristaltic pumps, filling machines |
| 4.8 mm | 8.0 mm | 1.6 mm | Bioreactor connections, wound drainage |
| 6.4 mm | 9.6 mm | 1.6 mm | Bulk drug transfer, heavy-duty pumping |
| 9.5 mm | 14.3 mm | 2.4 mm | Suction lines, high-flow drainage |
| 12.7 mm | 19.1 mm | 3.2 mm | Perfusion systems, cardiac bypass circuits |
Tolerances are held to ±0.1mm on standard sizes. Metric and imperial sizes are available. Custom extrusions can be developed with a short lead time.
