One Way Cable Ties — Nylon, Yellow, 500/Bag (388-5999-09K)

These one-way cable ties are molded from durable nylon in a high-visibility yellow color, supplied non-sterile in convenient 500/Bag bulk packaging for laboratory and facility management applications. The one-way locking mechanism provides a secure, tamper-evident closure that is not intended for repeated reuse. Part number 388-5999-09K is an economical choice for bundling cables, tubing, and other flexible lines in lab and support environments.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Bundling and routing instrument cables and power cords in laboratory settings
• Organizing tubing and flexible lines on benchtop or mobile equipment
• Color-coded identification and cable management using the high-visibility yellow format
• Securing specimen bags, containment pouches, or other flexible packaging where a tamper-evident closure is desired
• General facility maintenance and equipment organization tasks in research or clinical environments

Material & Chemical Resistance

Nylon (polyamide) offers good tensile strength, flexibility, and abrasion resistance, making it well suited for secure bundling applications. Nylon exhibits reasonable resistance to oils, greases, and mild aqueous solutions, but can absorb moisture over time, which may reduce stiffness. It is generally not recommended for prolonged exposure to strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, or concentrated alkaline solutions. Nylon is not autoclavable under standard steam sterilization conditions, consistent with the non-sterile supply format of these ties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these cable ties be unlocked and reused?
No — the one-way locking mechanism is designed for single use. Once cinched, the tie cannot be released without cutting, which is a common feature used where a tamper-evident or permanent closure is needed.

Are these ties sterile or suitable for use directly with patient samples?
These ties are supplied non-sterile and are intended for general laboratory cable and equipment management rather than direct contact with sterile specimens or clinical samples.

Why choose yellow cable ties over natural or black nylon?
The high-visibility yellow color aids quick visual identification and can support color-coded organizational systems in busy laboratory or facility environments, making it easier to distinguish specific cable groups or zones at a glance.
