Re: Best Way to Tie Off Surgical Tubing

I concur with the multiple ziptie method. One way we've used to prevent pull-out is to insert the largest set screw you can into each open end of the surgical tubing. You may have to work it a little bit to get it in all the way. Then when you ziptie your tubing in place, make sure at least one ziptie is across the set screw area of the tubing. The threads act as a bit of a hose barb feature to resist slippage.

Good luck to all this year!
