Silicone rubber products are widely used in the medical field

In medical clinics and hospitals, we can often see all kinds of silica gel products and spare parts, such as medical silica gel tube, finger clip pad for blood oxygen detector, breathing silica gel mask, needle silicone plug, silica gel rope tied to the hand and so on.

At present, in the medical device industry, why is medical silicone parts so concerned?

The reason why silicone rubber products can be widely concerned in the medical field is related to its own properties and structural characteristics. For example, the silicone stopper used in the sealed package of medical pharmaceutical products can maintain its original tightness and air tightness after acupuncture because of its certain elasticity, and no debris can fall off.The original characteristics of silica gel are difficult to meet the current medical needs, but it can be modified or added some reagents to change its shortcomings, so as to meet the application in medical devices.

At present, silicone rubber and polyurethane are the two most widely used materials in medical devices. Polyurethane has the advantages of good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties, easy molding and controllable performance, etc.Silicone rubber has the advantages of physiological inertia and good biocompatibility. These two materials have been found in medicine for a long time, and have been concerned and studied by the industry.

Silicone rubber is based on high-molecular-weight linear polyorganosiloxane, added with certain specific components, and processed in accordance with certain technological requirements to form a rubbery elastomer with certain strength and elongation.

Silicone rubber used as medical equipment has high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, hydrophobicity, flexibility, permeability, aging resistance, high transparency, physiological inertness, non-adhesion to human tissues and blood, good biological adaptability, and no A series of excellent properties such as toxic, odorless and non-carcinogenic.

As a medical polymer material with excellent performance, silicone rubber has attracted the attention of professionals in both the rubber industry and the medical field. The reason is that silica gel is used as a medical material with high technical content, low cost, high added value, and considerable economic benefits; using the medical properties of silicone rubber can not only solve many medical problems, but also enable patients to obtain satisfactory curative effects; It has a wide range of uses and is convenient for the production of silicone products manufacturers, and has good social and economic benefits.

Judging from the research and development trend of medical-grade silicone products, its use is increasing year by year, and its use is also expanding. At present, medical silicone rubber can be used in various fields such as brain surgery, ENT, thoracic surgery, abdominal surgery, internal medicine, urology, orthopedics and cosmetic plastic surgery.

At present, from the perspective of the development trend of medical silicone products and the demand of the medical device market, product categories are increasing with the progress of science and technology. It is believed that in the future, more silicone rubber products will be put into various medical fields to meet the needs of different patients!
