The Hygenic Corp.

Hygenic Natural Rubber Cord is manufactured from dry natural rubber. Hygenic Natural Rubber cord is essentially environmentally friendly and biodegradable because it is sourced from live trees that are not cut down. Our proprietary manufacturing process allows us to make natural rubber cord with no detectable levels of surface proteins. We can offer many different formulations to meet your requirements because we compound and mix our own rubber. Features: Excellent tear resistance High abrasion resistance Available in a variety of outer diameters ranging from 0.04" (1.02mm) to 2" (50.8mm) Custom color options

HYPERFORM® Thermoplastic Elastomeric Sheeting is a thermoplastic alternative which mimics many of the properties of natural rubber. It's popular for its recovery and elasticity and in some applications it is a suitable replacement for silicone or natural rubber latex. Features: High elongation Good recovery Better ozone resistance than natural rubber latex Successfully tested to the ISO10993 standard for various medical applications Available in thicknesses from 0.009" to 0.050" (0.23mm to 1.27mm) Available in many different colors - color matching

HYSYNAL® Synthetic Rubber Sheeting is not made from natural rubber latex and is a good alternative for applications where latex sensitivity is a concern. This synthetic polyisoprene sheeting meets various regulatory testing requirements for medical use and can typically be sterilized. The typical physical features of our synthetic rubber sheeting parallel those of natural rubber sheeting. A special formulation of our synthetic rubber (polyisoprene) is used to produce a unique powder-free and latex protein-free sheeting that can be disposable and cost-effective. HYSYNAL Synthetic Rubber Sheeting can be formulated and manufactured to meet your specific requirements. Features: Excellent resiliance Excellent flexibility Good abrasion resistance Pliability Low temperature performance

HYPERFORM® Thermoplastic Elastomer tubing is a thermoplastic polymer that mimics many of the properties of natural rubber and silicone. HYPERFORM can be a suitable alternative to natural rubber latex and silicone tubing. Like synthetic rubber, thermoplastic is made from a petrochemical material source, but no curatives are required. Therefore, this makes an end product with fewer extractables, creating product solutions that can be designed within established ASTM andor FDA standards. HYPERFORM Thermoplastic Elastomer tubing has been successfully tested to the ISO 10993 standard for various medical applications. Features: Soft (low durometer) tubing Good flexibility Good recovery More resistant to ozone than natural rubber latex tubing Available in a variety of standard colors or clear Available in a wide variety of sizes

HYSYNAL® Synthetic Rubber tourniquets, leg straps and neck straps are made from Hygenic's proprietary formulation of synthetic rubber which produces a unique non-slip, powder free and latex protein free surface. HYSYNAL Synthetic Rubber tourniquets and straps are an excellent alternative to latex tourniquets for patients with latex sensitivity. The physical and performance characteristic of HYSYNAL tourniquets and straps parallel those of natural rubber latex. HYSYNAL Synthetic Rubber tourniquets and straps have been successfully tested to the ISO10993 standard for various medical applications. Features: Non-slip texture Powder free No latex proteins Excellent tear resistance Easy to tie and untie Available in a variety of colors Available in a variety of gauges and widths Available in 34" (19mm) and 1" (25.4mm) widths

HYSYNAL® Synthetic Rubber Cord is latex protein free cord that is not subject to deformation because it is thermoset like natural rubber. HYSYNAL Synthetic Rubber cord is like natural rubber - it can be custom compounded to varying degrees of hardness to suit a wide variety of uses. HYSYNAL Synthetic cord is manufactured with less curvature than is usually associated with natural rubber cord. Features: Meets USP Class VI requirements Latex protein free Resilient Good abrasion resistance Good low temperature flexibility
