You can usually see all kinds of plastic products in hospitals and clinics, such as medical silicone tubes, needle silicone plugs, silicone ropes tied to the hands, etc. In the current medical industry, besides drugs, medical devices are the most common products. Why are the products getting so much attention?

In fact, the reason why silicone rubber products are widely used in the medical field is mainly due to their own properties and structural characteristics. For example, the rubber stopper used for the sealed packaging of medical pharmaceuticals requires a certain degree of elasticity, and can still maintain the original shape after acupuncture. Airtight and no debris can fall. However, the characteristics of silica gel itself are difficult to meet the current medical needs, so it is necessary to modify the silica gel or add some reagents to change its own insufficiency to meet the medical application.

At present, the two most widely used materials are silicone rubber and polyurethane. Polyurethane has the advantages of good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties, easy molding and processing, and controllable performance; silicone rubber has physiological inertia and good biocompatibility, etc. Advantages, these two materials were discovered by medicine very early, and have been continuously concerned and researched by people in the industry.

Silicone rubber is based on high molecular weight linear polyorganosiloxane, adding some specific components, and then processed according to certain process requirements, to make a rubbery elastic body with certain strength and elongation.

Silicone rubber used as a medical material has high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, hydrophobicity, softness, permeability, aging resistance, high transparency, physiological inertia, no adhesion to human tissue and blood, and good biological adaptability. It has a series of excellent characteristics such as non-toxic, tasteless, and non-carcinogenic.

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

Judging from the development trend of medical-grade silicone products, their quantity and usage are increasing year by year, and their use is also expanding. At present, medical silicone rubber products are widely used in various fields such as brain surgery, otolaryngology, thoracic surgery, abdominal surgery, internal medicine, urology, orthopedics and plastic surgery, such as artificial skull, artificial nose bridge, gastric tube, artificial peritoneum, artificial finger Joints, artificial skin, soft tissue expanders, artificial breasts, etc.

Silicone rubber, as a biomedical polymer material with excellent performance, has received widespread attention from people in the industry both the rubber and plastic industry and in the medical field. At present, from the perspective of the development trend of medical silicone products and the demand of the medical market, different types and technical varieties are expanding and improving. In the future, more silicone rubber products will be put into various medical applications to meet the needs of different patients. need!
