Neoprene is a special kind of synthetic rubber that is manufactured through the processing of the material chloroprene. This rubber is a highly flexible and stable material, even when applied in a thin layer and bent repeatedly.

The IV and surgical latex tubing is a wonderful medical tool that has saved many lives. This past weekend, I witnessed the amazing power of IVs while my aunt was in the hospital. She was hooked up to many different varieties of tubes and IVs that kept her body functioning after surgery. While we watched her in the hospital, I wondered about the history of IVs.
