Why is most liquid silicone used in the production of medical silicone products?

With the development of medical technology, liquid silicone products is plays an important role in the medical industry. Nowadays, medical silicone products such as medical silicone air bags, medical silicone tubes, silicone silicone 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 increasing medical needs, the research direction of liquid silicone mainly focuses on three aspects: surface modification, blending modification and application research. This material has coagulation properties, good stability, good clinical usability, no allergic reactions, and product stability. The performance are higher than ordinary silicone and food-grade silicone.

What are the advantages of silicone in medical industry applications?

First, silicone rubber is a medical material with good performance, and it can be used as a medical artificial material.
The cost of liquid silicone is relatively low, it is highly practical. It has good biological adaptability, and does not stick to the capillaries of the human body.
Secondly, silicone rubber products have very good medical properties: colorless, non-toxic, high temperature resistant, oxidation resistant,
Silicone products can solve difficult medical problems and meet the medical needs of patients due to their high flexibility and transparency.
In addition, silicone rubber has coagulation properties; the toxicity test results meet medical requirements. Silicone also has good biocompatibility, no distortion, and no allergic reactions. It has excellent wear resistance, soft touch, moisture resistance, and resistance to various chemicals.
Finally, medical silicone rubber products can also be used to make artificial heart valves, artificial lungs, bone adhesives, artificial skin, burn dressings and so on.

As people pay more attention to health, the market capacity of medical devices is getting larger and larger, and the demand is also growing rapidly. The application scope of medical silicone rubber product is constantly expanding. Medical liquid silicone grade products have high technical content, high added value, and considerable economic benefits.
