MT5000

Altera medical-grade, flexible,

polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing

Altera MT5000 heat-shrinkable tubing

is flexible tubing with a single-wall

construction. It is especially

suitable for applications requiring

excellent electrical insulation

performance and resistance to

abrasion and harmful solvents.

Altera MT5000 tubing can provide

electrical insulation, mechanical

protection, strain relief, color coding,

and identification for many medical

components and devices. A few sizes

can cover a wide range of substrates.

Altera MT5000A tubing provides

an inner layer of adhesive.

During installation, the USP Class VI

adhesive layer will reflow around the

substrate to provide sealing or

blocking against fluids and other

bioburden materials.

Altera MT5000 tubing may be

sterilized by radiation and ethylene

oxide with no significant change in

properties. It is fabricated from

materials that meet the requirements

of U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI

plastics (contact with injectables and

body fluids or tissue).

Temperature rating
