Acceptable Materials for Breathing Tube
Acceptable Materials for Breathing Tube
(OP)
Hello,
Not sure where this question should go, please feel free to point me elsewhere.
I am designing a product that users will breath through. I want to make sure it is safe for the user and it is not going to deteriorate over time if saliva gets into it.
What is a good source for tubing, that is in Canada or at least ships to Canada?
Are there standard materials I should use?
Are there bad materials I should avoid?
Are there standards or certifications I should look for?
Thanks.

You should look at what is necessary to clear your device through Health Canada as well as FDA, as this may include biocompatibility testing of the material you are using. Not many material suppliers provide biocomp data.
There are consulting firms who specialize in this sort of thing and they could offer you the best guidance.
