What Are The Performance Characteristics Of Medical Silicone?

The two widely used medical silicone materials are silicone and polyurethane. Polyurethane has the advantages of good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties, easy molding and processing, and controllable properties. Silicone has physiological inertness and good biocompatibility. Advantages, these two materials have been discovered in medicine for a long time, and have been continuously paid attention and researched by people in the industry.

As a medical polymer material with excellent performance, medical silicone has attracted attention both in the rubber industry and in the medical field.

There are three reasons for this:

1. As a rubber medical material, it has high technical content, low cost, high added value and considerable economic benefits.

2. Utilize the medical properties of silicone. It can not only solve many problems in medical technology, but also make patients obtain satisfactory results.

3. Rubber has a wide range of sources, is convenient for production and fine processing, and has good social and economic benefits.

Medical silicone is based on high molecular weight linear polyorganosiloxane, adding some specific components, and then processing it according to certain process requirements to make a rubbery elastomer with certain strength and elongation. Silica gel used as a medical material has high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, hydrophobicity, softness, permeability, aging resistance, high transparency, physiological inertness, non-adhesion to human tissue and blood, good biological adaptability, no Toxic, tasteless, non-carcinogenic and a series of excellent properties.
