What are the advantages of medical grade silicone tubing?

In hospital outpatient clinics, you can generally see various plastic products, such as medical silicone tubes, silicone plugs for needle tubes, and silicone ropes tied to your hands. In the current medical field, apart from medicines, the most common products are medical equipment. , So why are silicone products so concerned?

In fact, silicone rubber products are often widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly because their own characteristics are related to structural characteristics. For example, the rubber stopper used for the sealing packaging of medical drugs is required to have a certain ductility, and it can still maintain its original shape after the needle is inserted. tightness and tightness, and no debris can fall down. However, the characteristics of silica gel itself cannot meet the requirements of today's medicine, which must be modified by modifying silica gel materials or adding some experimental reagents to achieve its medical application.

The two most commonly used raw materials at this stage are silicone rubber and polyurethane materials. Polyurethane materials have the advantages of excellent compatibility, excellent structural and mechanical properties, easy forming and production, and performance controllability. With the advantages of good solubility, these two raw materials have long been discovered in medicine, and have been continuously concerned and scientifically researched by professionals.

Silicone rubber is based on a high content of linear polyorganochemical siloxane, plus some special ingredients, and then produced and processed in accordance with certain processing regulations to make a vulcanized rubber-like polyurethane elastomer with certain compressive strength and elongation. .

Silicone rubber as a pharmaceutical raw material has high heat resistance, air oxidation resistance, hydrophobicity, flexibility, passability, high anti-aging clarity, physiological plasticity, non-adhesion to human cells and blood, and microbial adaptation. Good performance, non-toxic, odorless, non-carcinogenic substances and a series of high-quality characteristics.

As a high-quality medical fiber material, silicone rubber has attracted the attention of professionals in the field of vulcanized rubber or in the pharmaceutical industry. The reason is that, first, as a silicone medical material, it has high technology content, low cost, high added value, and very rich economic benefits; second, it uses the medical properties of silicone rubber. It can not only deal with many difficulties at the medical level, but also make patients get satisfactory results; third, the main use of silica gel comes from the general, so that silica gel product manufacturers can produce and process finely, which has good social and economic benefits and economic benefits.

Judging from the development trend of the development, design, research and development of medical-grade silicone products, its total number and usage are gradually increasing, and its main uses are also developing. At this stage, medical silicone rubber products are widely used in various industries such as oncology, otolaryngology, cardiothoracic surgery, abdominal surgery, gastroenterology, urology, brain surgery, and plastic surgery, such as artificial skulls, artificial nose bridges, Gastric tube, artificial retroperitoneum, artificial hand joint, artificial skin, subcutaneous tissue expander, artificial chest, etc.

As a high-quality microbial medical fiber material, silicone rubber has received extensive attention from professionals in the field of rubber and plastic products or in the medical industry. At this stage, from the perspective of the development trend of medical silicone products and the requirements of the medical sales market, different types and technical types are expanding and improving. In the future, a large amount of silicone rubber commodity funds will continue to be invested in various medical applications. Meet the requirements of different patients!
