Setting New Standards for Medical Tubing
Like its time-trusted parent, OmegaFlex, MediTrac makes quality and safety the hallmark of its design. From its patent-pending design and axial swaged fittings that ease installation to a fire-retardant jacket for added security, MediTrac meets the highest standards for performance. Where rigid copper tubing must be cleaned and cut every twenty feet, semi-rigid MediTrac installs as one long piece of pre-cleaned tubing for less contamination risk. In addition, MediTrac resists damage from seismic and building shifts for leak-free, reliable gas distribution at all times.
