Title:
【発明の名称】断熱手段、チューブを密封する方法および装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH08427
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An insulating sleeve (12) retains heat in the plastic of a flexible plastic medical tube (10) when the plastic of the medical tube is dielectrically heated by a radio frequency tubing sealer (14). The heat retained by the insulating sleeve (12) permits additional melting of the plastic of the medical tube (10) after a seal (31) has been formed. The additional melting results in forming an easily tearable web (35) between the segments of the medical tube in the same operation as the sealing operation. The medical tube (10) is selectively sealed without forming the easily tearable web (35) by using the radio frequency tubing sealer (14) without the insulating sleeve (12).
