Find a sort section of a cylindrical rubbery material that you can stretch and pull the opposite ends of the surgical tubing over (some small diameter rubbery material). IF I remember right, you apply a little heat to the joint, the surgical tubing melts a bit and permanently turns sticky at the joint.

The heat gun was used initially to attempt to fuse the ends and ended up making a stinking mess It got hot and gooey but would never fuse.

edit: rereading your post are you speaking of some sort of flexible insert which the surgical tubing fuses to upon heating?
