PS-VA
Silicone-jacketed small diameter stainless steel conduit for medical, sensor, and fiber optic protection
PS-VA is a family of small diameter stainless steel conduits with silicone jacketing for compact medical, sensor, and fiber optic bundle protection. It is used where controlled bending, compact protected routing, and durable outer jacketing are important in confined spaces or precision equipment.
Built with a stainless steel V2A helix core, fiber glass braiding, and silicone jacketing, PS-VA helps protect delicate glass or plastic fiber bundles, sensor leads, and fine wire assemblies from over-bending, tensile loading, abrasion, and installation damage. It is also used where autoclavable construction and FDA-conforming silicone jacketing are important.
Choose PS-VA when you need a more robust silicone-jacketed small diameter conduit for compact medical, sensor, or fiber optic protection.
Compared with PSL-VA, PS-VA uses a slightly thicker stainless steel helix construction for added robustness.

Frequently Asked Questions About PS-VA Small Diameter Conduits
What is PS-VA best used for?
PS-VA is best used for compact routing and protection of fiber optic bundles, sensor leads, and delicate wire assemblies where silicone-jacketed outer protection, controlled bending, and stainless steel construction are required.
How is PS-VA different from PSL-VA?
PS-VA uses a slightly thicker stainless steel construction with silicone jacketing for added robustness. PSL-VA uses a thinner stainless steel construction with silicone jacketing, making it lighter, easier to handle, and better suited to more delicate and compact bundle routing.
Can PS-VA be used in medical or clean-environment applications?
Yes. PS-VA can be used in medical or clean-environment applications where fiber optic bundles, sensor leads, and delicate wire assemblies require compact protected routing. Silicone jacketing and stainless steel construction make it a strong option for precision and clean-process equipment.
Is PS-VA autoclavable?
Yes. PS-VA is used in applications where autoclavable conduit construction is required for medical, sensor, or related precision equipment. Final suitability should be confirmed against the specific operating and sterilization conditions.
Does PS-VA use FDA-conforming materials?
PS-VA uses a silicone jacket formulated for applications requiring FDA-conforming material characteristics. Where regulatory or application-specific compliance is critical, the exact product documentation should be reviewed for confirmation.
Can PS-VA be used for fiber optic bundles and endoscopy-related applications?
Yes. PS-VA is suited to compact fiber optic bundle protection in applications such as medical lighting, technical endoscopy, sensor technology, inspection, and other precision fiber routing applications.
