Re: Attaching Surgical tubing together??

The way we have made surgical tubing loops is usually with zip ties. What we do 8s have over hang between the 2 ends of the tubing enough for 2 zip ties thej we would stretch the over lap to its limit and while its in tension would tighten the zipties around it as tight as well could using pliers then release and its done.

I know mcmaster also sells barbs that go into the ends of the tubes but not sure how well they work under tension
