Beer Tubing for Doctors?
C. Walton Lillehei was a heart surgeon at the University of Minnesota in the 1940s. Dr. Lillehei challenged Mayon Plastics to develop tubing that might be less stiff, and therefore more comfortable for patience requiring medical tubing. Mayon Plastics re-engineered tubing originally developed for the beer industry, and these new tubes were implemented with great success.
