Liquid silicone medical accessories have many unique properties, such as good physiological inertia, resistance to corrosive body fluids, resistance to aging under harsh environmental conditions, and no inflammation of human tissues ... so they are widely used in the medical field. Among the current many medical polymer materials, silicone rubber occupies a dominant position in terms of quantity and variety.
Liquid silicone medical accessory materials can be formed by ordinary rubber processing methods, such as extrusion, dipping, injection, or molding, although the performance of silicone rubber products varies due to the different silicone rubber raw materials or production processes used by manufacturers. In practical applications, the performance of medical silicone rubber products must reach a certain level in order to ensure safety and effectiveness during use.
In recent decades, the application of medical silicone rubber products has achieved rapid development. As a medical device industry, the performance of medical silicone rubber products, especially its application in clinical medicine is also more and more widely.
At present, only the United States uses more than 100 tons of medical liquid silicone rubber annually for medical care, more than 200 tons of mixed silicone rubber, and hundreds of medical products. At present, China's market is still dominated by imported products, and the proportion of domestic medical silicone rubber market is very small. The reason is that the domestic products have poor seriality and matching, the products are obviously insufficient in appearance, packaging design, and publicity, and there is no brand benefit, which has seriously affected the promotion and application of medical silicone rubber products.
With the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing awareness of health, medical silicone rubber products will be used more and more.
Liquid silicone medical accessories have become the most widely used medical polymer materials due to their excellent performance. With the development of the silicone industry, medical silicone rubber products will form a market that cannot be underestimated, and silicone rubber will play a greater role in the medical field.
