Biosafety guarantees medical applications
The key to the wide application of liquid silicone rubber in the medical field lies in its excellent biosafety. It has undergone rigorous biological evaluation, including tests such as cytotoxicity, sensitization, and genotoxicity, to ensure that it is harmless to the human body. This property stems from its stable chemical structure, which is not easy to release harmful substances and can remain inert when in contact with human tissue.
Diversified medical product applications
Catheter products: Catheters are one of the common applications. The inner wall of the catheter made of liquid silicone rubber is smooth, which can reduce damage to the urethral mucosa and reduce the risk of infection. Its soft and elastic properties can adapt to the physiological curvature of the human urethra and improve patient comfort. In terms of drainage tubes, it also relies on good flexibility and chemical stability to ensure smooth drainage of body fluids, and it is not easy to age or deform after long-term use.
Plastic and repair materials: In the field of plastic surgery, liquid silicone rubber is used to make artificial breast prostheses. It has good elasticity and touch, can simulate the softness of human tissue, and has a natural appearance. In maxillofacial surgery repair, it can be used to repair facial deformities or trauma, and restore the normal shape and function of the face through precise shaping.
Medical device accessories: Liquid silicone rubber is also commonly used to make seals, gaskets and other accessories for various medical devices. For example, syringe pistons require materials with good sealing and sliding properties. Liquid silicone rubber can meet these requirements and ensure accurate injection doses. The sealing gaskets of surgical instruments prevent liquid leakage and bacterial invasion to ensure surgical safety.
Liquid silicone rubber, with its biosafety and excellent performance, provides a reliable material choice for the medical and health field, promotes the continuous advancement of medical technology, and improves the quality of life of patients.
