Re: Surgical tubing issues

Surgical tubing works best if not stretched more than 2x its length. It is supposed to retain its structure longer.
Also, if you have a bundle of tubing, they may rub against each-other (especially during rapid retraction) and wear in that way

Other than that, I would leave it to normal wear and tear. A couple of hours is not unreasonable for something like elastic tubing. Maybe just bring enough to a regional for 3-4 replacements?
