Abstract
A connection including a first profile having a first end and a first lumen, the first profile including a first polymeric material and a second profile having a second end and a second lumen, the second profile including a second polymeric material, a metal, or combination thereof, wherein the first end and the second end are coincidently welded via an ionized gas treatment.
Claims17
A connection comprising a first profile having a first end and a first lumen, the first profile comprising a first polymeric material comprising a thermoset silicone elastomer material and a second profile having a second end and a second lumen, the second profile comprising a second thermoset silicone elastomer material, wherein the first end and the second end are coincidently welded at an interface via an ionized gas treatment to form a sterile coincidental weld.
A sterile connection comprising a first tube having a first end and a first lumen, the first tube comprising a first polymeric material comprising a thermoset silicone elastomer and a second tube having a second end and a second lumen, the second tube comprising a thermoset silicone elastomer material, wherein the first end and the second end are coincidently welded at an interface via an ionized gas treatment, wherein the ionized gas treatment provides a sterile coincidental weld between the first tube and the second tube.
