INT Medical High Pressure Extension Tube

Angiography and interventional procedures both need contrast delivered from a source to the patient under pressure. The line that carries it has to hold that pressure without leaking or bursting. Two situations arise. In hand injection, the operator drives contrast from a control syringe through a manifold, and pressures stay modest. In power injection,n a machine delivers a set volume at a set rate, and pressures climb far higher.

The two pressure classes map onto those situations. The 500 psi PVC references suit manifold and hand-injection circuits. The 1,200 psi braided references are the class used with contrast power injectors. That is why the braid is there at all. Choosing the wrong class is a real hazard rather than a theoretical one. A line failing under injection sprays contrast interrupts the study and can contaminate the sterile field.

Air management is the other safety issue these lines touch. Air introduced into a coronary or cerebral artery can cause ischaemia. The whole circuit is therefore purged before injection. That purge depends on the operator being able to see bubbles in the line. INT's claim about braid transparency is therefore a clinical point, not a cosmetic one. Line length is chosen to reach from the injector or manifold to the patient without excess slack. A longer line adds both dead space and compliance. Rotating adapters help where a line is repeatedly connected and released during a case.

Peripheral interventional radiology uses the same lines for arterial and venous contrast work. Medigear.uk supplies the instructions for use with every order.

Two Pressure Classes From One Supplier

Both the 500 psi and 1,200 psi classes are available on the same account, so a laboratory can stock correctly for hand and power injection without splitting suppliers.

Braided Construction Rated for Power Injection

The polyurethane and nylon braid references hold 1,200 psi, which is the recognised class for contrast injector lines.

Bubbles Remain Visible Through the Braid

INT designs its braiding so air can still be seen in the line, which supports the purging step that braided tubing usually makes harder.

Rotating Adapter Option

The PMT05 references let the line be connected and released without twisting, which suits repeated attachment during a case.

Six Standard Lengths

A run from 30 cm to 180 cm allows the line to be matched to the room layout rather than coiling excess tubing on the table.

Custom Lengths Accepted

INT states length customisation is available, so a non-standard requirement does not force a change of supplier.

Polyurethane Flexibility

Braided polyurethane handles more easily than rigid tubing while still carrying the higher pressure rating.

Consolidated Supply Through Medigear.uk

Medigear.uk quotes the full PMT range on one account alongside the manifold kits, syringes and valves that connect to it.

PMT01 References, 500 psi PVC

Six lengths in plain PVC with fixed female-male luer lock fittings.

PMT03 References, 1,200 psi Braided PU

Braided polyurethane with fixed female-male luer lock fittings.

PMT05 References, 1,200 psi With Rotating Adapter

Braided polyurethane fitted with a rotating connection.

Polyurethane With Braided Nylon Layer

The reinforced construction carries the higher pressure class.

Female-Male Luer Lock Fittings

Threaded connections at both ends on the PMT01 and PMT03 families.

Rotating Adapter Fittings

The PMT05 family connects without the tubing turning.

30 cm and 60 cm Lengths

Short runs for compact setups and close coupling.

90 cm and 120 cm Lengths

Mid-range lengths, with 120 cm matching the tubing supplied in INT's manifold kits.

150 cm and 180 cm Lengths

Longer runs where the injector sits further from the table.

Length Customisation

Non-standard lengths can be ordered from the manufacturer.

Braiding Designed for Bubble Visibility

Air in the line remains detectable despite the reinforcing layer.

PMT Series Identification

All references sit within INT's PMT extension tubing series.

The INT Medical High Pressure Extension Tube covers both angiographic pressure classes across fifteen listed references, from 500 psi PVC lines for manifold and hand-injection work through to 1,200 psi braided polyurethane for contrast power injectors. Fixed and rotating fittings, six standard lengths, and custom sizing on request mean the line can be matched to the circuit rather than the circuit worked around the line. Medigear.uk supplies the range to UK cardiac catheter laboratories and interventional radiology suites, alongside the manifolds and syringes that connect to it. Before supply, Medigear.uk will confirm sterility and packaging state, internal diameter, shelf life, box quantity, packing dimensions in LBH mm, the full PMT03 reference list, and UK conformity status.
