Reduces Friction
Parker compound E1244-70 contains
an internal lubricant that reduces
installation force and dynamic friction
without the need for an external
lubricant. The proprietary internal
lubricant in E1244-70 is derived from
the fatty acid family, making it unlikely
to cause a patient reaction. Successfully
completing USP Class VI and USP <87>
testing further demonstrates the safety
of this internal lubricant.
External lubricants are messy and
migrate into areas where they are
not needed, possibly into flow paths
where they can affect patient health.
Even “clean” lubricants like USP grade
silicone quickly trap dirt and dust that
can harbor bacteria.
