| abstract |
The invention is a relatively thin wall extruded tubing that in different forms can provide flow regulation for peristaltic pumps, reduce spallation, extend pumping life, provide means to measure inlet and outlet pressure of the peristaltic pump and limits the inlet and outlet pressure generated by peristaltic pumps. A special peristaltic pump designed to take advantage of the unique characteristics of the thin walled tubing forms the new pumping system. The invention has particular usefulness in the medical industry for pumping physiological or nutritional liquids. |
