Provenance
This Silastic tubing was created by the Dow Corning Corporation between 1945 and 1975. The tubing belonged to Dr. M. Judah Folkman and was likely used in his research on "the use of silicone rubber as a carrier for prolonged drug therapy." It was separated from the M. Judah Folkman papers and transferred to the Warren Anatomical Museum in 2014.
