This version offers the fewest number of extractables, which are compounds that can be drawn out of tubing and adversely affect the fluid flowing within. It also does not contain plasticizers that can leach out and cause flow contamination or tube hardening. Silicon Med-X is soft, pliable, and will not support bacteria growth.
