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).
