Tube markers for use in infusion sets are provided. An infusion tube includes a tube marker positioned from a tube end at a distance equal to the distance between an external edge and a hard stop of a fluid port of an infusion set component. The tube marker provides an external visual indicator of the fit between the infusion tube and the infusion set component, such as whether there is a gap between the end of the infusion tube and hard stop of the fluid port. The tube marker may be pad printed or laser etched on the tube. The tube marker may also be a tube sleeve over molded or heat shrunk onto the tube. Methods of providing tube markers are also provided.

A flexible hose assembly includes a length of tubular hose formed from a spiral-wrapped layer of polymer material. A helical stiffener is disposed on an outer surface of the tubular hose. The helical stiffener comprises an elastomer material that is configured to bond or adhere to the polymer material of the tubular hose.

The present invention relates to a hose line (1) for transporting abrasive media with an electrically conductive reinforcing element (5) running in or on the hose wall (2) and extending in the hose direction (6), wherein an insert (7) made of electrically conducting material is at least partially embedded in the hose wall (2) and extends in the hose direction (6) at a distance from the reinforcing element (5).

Disclosed are a laminated sheet comprising a first dye-containing layer, an intermediate layer and a second dye-containing layer laminated in this order, which is excellent in low temperature impact resistance and suitable for a laser tape winding method with high productivity, characterized in that the intermediate layer is composed of a stretched thermoplastic resin or a stretched thermoplastic resin composition, and each dye-containing layer is composed of a thermoplastic resin composition containing a dye which absorbs light having a wavelength of 300 nm or more and 3000 nm or less; and a laminate, and a method for producing them.

The invention relates to a retractable pipe whose wall is formed of at least one flexible gas-impermeable and/or liquid-impermeable tape welded by its selvages in the form of a cylindrical helix and of at least one metal wire in the form of a cylindrical helix whose pitch is the same as the one formed by said band, characterized in that said tape is a double fabric textile comprising at least two regions where the two fabrics work together to delimit at least one inflatable zone, said textile being covered with a coating layer of a gas and/or liquid-impermeable material.

An air hose includes a first component, a second, elastic component and one or more fastening positions and/or a continuous fastener. The first component has a first end and a second end, wherein the first and second ends of the first component define a first component length therebetween. The second component has a first end and a second end, wherein the first and second ends of the second component define a second component length therebetween. The one or more fastening positions and/or continuous fastener extends along the second component length and fastens the second component to the first component in an axial direction of the air hose. The air hose is operable between a first condition in which the second component length is less than the first component length and is collapsible in a radial direction, and a second condition in which the second component length is the same as the first component length and the first component is held against a biasing force of the second component such that the air hose is open in the radial direction.
