With the increasing emphasis on food safety and medical hygiene in each country, strict requirements have been made especially for silicone products related to human body, food and medical treatment.

As a medical material, after decades of clinical application, silica gel has been recognized by the medical community and has become more and more widely used. Many companies regard medical silicone rubber as the main target of development, and medical silica gel has made great progress. The following is a Shenzhen silicone manufacturer, Weiyeda, to share the development prospects of medical silicone for you.

In addition to meeting the basic requirements of medical polymer materials, silica gel also has the characteristics of heat resistance, cold resistance, non-toxicity, biological aging resistance, minimal response to human tissue, and good physical and mechanical properties, making it a typical medical polymer. It is widely used in the fields of medical and health care and biomedical engineering. Among the many medical polymer materials at present, silicone rubber occupies a dominant position in both quantity and variety.

At the current level of medical technology development, liquid silicone products cannot be underestimated. Nowadays, medical silicone products such as medical silicone airbags, medical silicone tubes, silicone silicone cable ties, and silicone pads have been put into the market, and medical grade silicone has been put into use.

In the medical industry, in order to meet the increasingly high medical needs, the research direction of liquid silica gel mainly focuses on three aspects: surface modification, blending modification and application research. The material has coagulation, good stability, good clinical usability, no allergic reaction, product stability and performance are higher than ordinary silica gel and food-grade silica gel.

Ordinary silicone gloves are different from medical grade silicone gloves. The molding process of customized suppliers of liquid silicone products can be divided into solid vulcanization and liquid injection molding. As we all know, medical silicone gloves need to be easy and flexible to handle, and medical grade silicone resin material can be used to make this material thickness. In the case of 0.8mm, the resilience strength is greater than 300%. , and has excellent flexibility, is not easy to crack, and does not appear powder mixture.

Catheter: Medical catheter is the fastest growing and most widely used product in medical silicone rubber products. According to the use, it can be divided into in vivo and in vitro. In vitro, there are mainly various types of pump tubes, such as artificial heart-lung machine pump tubes, connecting tubes with various instruments, infusion tubes, etc. The current development trend of medical catheters used in the human body is miniaturization, thin-walled, multi-lumen and multi-functional in one tube. Especially for indwelling catheters, whether for long-term or short-term use, the advantages of silicone rubber materials and catheters are unmatched by other materials.

Cranial surgery products: The silicone rubber products used for craniocerebral surgery mainly include: artificial skull, silicon-titanium composite repair material, hydrocephalus six device, ventricle drainage tube, artificial meninges, currently domestically developed silicone rubber and nylon fabrics The manufactured artificial meninges can be used for repairing traumatic dura mater defects, repairing dura mater or dura mater defects caused by excision of tumor in the dura mater kit or infiltrating area.

ENT products: silicone rubber products for ENT include: artificial nose bridge, artificial chin, mandible, artificial ear, artificial larynx, otitis media ventilation tube, lacrimal duct probing device, lacrimal duct plug, nostril support, snoring device, Nasal hemostatic balloon, artificial respirator wave tube, tracheostomy cannula, etc. At present, silicone rubber has been widely used in cosmetic and prosthetic surgery, and can repair various parts of the face, internal organs, chest, joints, etc.

Cardiac surgery products: Silicone rubber products used in cardiac surgery mainly include extracorporeal circulation machine pump tube, chest drainage tube, artificial lung silicone membrane, artificial heart spherical mitral valve, etc.

Digestive system products: silicone rubber gastric tube, duodenal tube, double-lumen intestinal cannula, nutrition tube, gastric decompression tube, gastrostomy tube, gastric lavage tube, enema, etc. In the past, these products were mainly made of polyvinyl chloride. As the production cost of silicone rubber is reduced, and silicone rubber products are more ideal in terms of softness and elasticity, a large number of PVC products have been replaced in China at present.

Abdominal surgery and reproductive system products: silicone rubber products used in abdominal surgery mainly include: peritoneal dialysis tube, abdominal drainage tube, T-tube, Y-tube, TY-tube, capillary drainage tube, porous drainage tube, negative pressure drainage device , anti-adhesion membrane, etc.; there are many kinds of applications in the reproductive system, mainly including various catheters, ostomy tubes, penile prostheses, artificial testicles, fetal suction devices, uterine thermal ball therapy instruments, silicone rubber IUDs, Implanted contraceptive devices, etc.

As people pay more and more attention to health, the market capacity of medical devices is also increasing, and the demand is also growing rapidly. In view of the inherent medical characteristics of medical silica gel, the application scope of medical silica gel is constantly expanding. Medical silica gel grade products have high technical content, high value-added profits and considerable economic benefits. Therefore, the development of industrialization of medical grade silica gel products has broad prospects.
