MT2000 Altera medical-grade, very thin wall, polyolefin heat-shrinkable tubing Altera MT2000 heat-shrinkable tubing is made of a tough, modified polyolefin with a very thin wall construction. It is especially suitable for medical applications requiring lubricity, flexibility, and excellent electrical insulation performance. Altera MT2000 offers a costeffective alternative to FEP while maintaining performance after gamma sterilization. Altera MT2000 tubing can provide electrical insulation, mechanical protection, strain relief, color coding, and identification for many medical components and devices. Altera MT2000A 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 MT2000 tubing may be sterilized by gamma radiation or ethylene oxide with no significant changes 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).
