The application of medical silicone products in the medical industry is because of the nature and structural characteristics of silicone itself, silicone products have been widely used in the field of medicine. So medical silicone manufacturer NEWTOP introduces the characteristics of medical silicone products.
From a material point of view
Silicone, colorless silicone raw material, is based on high molecular weight linear polysiloxane, adding some specific components, and then processed according to certain technological requirements, made of rubber elastomer with a certain strength and elongation.
It has the widest working temperature range (100 ~ 350 degrees c), high and low-temperature resistance, addition, but also has excellent thermal stability and electrical insulation, weather resistance, ozone resistance, air permeability, high transparency, tear strength, good heat resistance and excellent adhesion, sexual activity and stripping, some special silicon also has very oil resistance, solvent resistance, resistance to convergence It can be used at ultra-high and low temperature.
Classification of medical silicone products
NEWTOP MEDICAL specializes in customized drawings and samples of silicone products. Silicone products, medical silicone accessories, and medical silicone products are the application of silicone materials in medicine, its product form mainly includes medical rubber plugs, medical rubber hoses, and other medical silicone products in three categories. Based on extensive surveys of medical silicone manufacturers, this is one of the most common classification methods.
For example, it can be used to make artificial heart valves, artificial lungs, bone adhesive, artificial skin, burn to dress, insulating wire of heart pacemaker, suture, various splints, liquid guide tube, transplanted blood vessels, trachea, dental materials, insertion materials, family planning supplies, etc. It is understood that silicone products have been widely used in the field of medicine because of their properties and structural characteristics. So today I’m going to introduce you to and. Why plastic medicine is use silicone material medical plastic filling widely uses silicone material. Because silicone is a widely used biomedical silicone product material in cosmetic surgery, there are a variety of forms, such as liquid silicone oil, jelly-like silicone, foam silicone sponge and elastic solid silicone, etc.
History of Medical Silicone Development
The medical properties of silicone products for medical use were discovered in 1945. In the 1960s, there were many reports about the application of medical silicone as implant materials and medical products. In particular, the application of medical silicone in cardiac pacemakers and heart valves has not only brought new life to tens of thousands of patients but has also played a great role in promoting the development of other medical silicone products.
In THE 1960s and 1970s, many medical silicone products (silicone breast, knuckle, orbital base, tracheal intubation, auricle, hydrocephalus drainage tube, peritoneal dialysis tube, balloon dividing catheter, catheter, etc.) were put into clinical application.
According to the opinion of medical silicone manufacturers, mainly used for: the repair of facial defects, treatment of external ear defects, skull and chest beauty, repair of internal organs, etc., the most common of which is breast augmentation surgery.
Silicone has good biocompatibility, no irritation to human tissue, no toxicity, no allergic reaction, and body rejection reaction is very few; It has good physical and chemical properties, and can maintain its original elasticity and softness in the process of contact with body fluids and tissues, and is not degraded. It is a fairly stable emotional substance. It can withstand high temperatures and be sterilized. Easy to process and shape, easy to process and carve shapes, and easy to use.
Hardness range:30 degrees to 80 degrees (Shaw hardness A).
Size range: minimum inner diameter 0.3mm, outer diameter 90mm, the thinnest wall thickness 0.2mm(to see the specific inner diameter and outer diameter).
Dimensional tolerance: conventional dimensional tolerance is 0.1mm, some small specification tolerance can achieve 0.05mm.
Product certificate: Medical grade (food grade)FDA certification, EU LMBG and LFGB certification, UL, SGS, ROHS, REACH testing.
Stainless steel wire strengthening tolerance temperature range:-53° C– 204 ° C polypropylene braided strengthening tolerance temperature range:-28C– to 120 at 21 ° C
the temperature of the working pressure and bursting pressure ratio is 1:4.
The above vacuum is measured at 21C and all the data are excellent.
In addition, medical silicone products can also be used in the production of artificial heart valves, artificial lungs, bone adhesives, artificial skin, burn dressings, cardiac pacemaker insulation wire, suture, all kinds of splints, liquid tubes, transplanted blood vessels, trachea, dental materials, insertion materials, family planning supplies. There are also a lot of medical, life-standard supplies.
From the perspective of medical silicone manufacturer
Objectively speaking, factories engaged in the production of medical silicone products may need to meet higher and stricter production standards than other types of factories. If you are still confused about liquid silicone products, especially medical silicone products, please contact NEWTOP immediately, we are an experienced and professional medical silicone manufacturer that can provide you with a full range of help and services.
