Liquid silicone coating technology: a path of innovation in the medical field

Hits: 1406 img

In the medical field, liquid silicone has become the core material for medical devices and implants due to its unique biocompatibility, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and antibacterial properties. From short-term implanted silicone catheters and pacemaker lead coatings to long-term implanted artificial joints and breast implants, the excellent properties of liquid silicone perfectly match the medical field's emphasis on material safety
Strict requirements for reliability and durability. Its non cytotoxicity, γ - ray sterilization resistance and anti-aging characteristics ensure the long-term stability of the implant in the human body.

For example, the lead coating of a cardiac pacemaker needs to have both flexibility and fatigue resistance, and the Shore A 30-50 hardness and tear resistance of liquid silicone precisely meet this requirement. In vitro diagnostic equipment, the high-precision molding of liquid silicone gel (tolerance ± 0.01mm) ensures no leakage of reagents, and its acid and alkali corrosion resistance allows it to come into contact with chemical reagents such as blood and urine. With the breakthrough of 3D printing technology, liquid silicone is gradually being applied to personalized customized implants and surgical guides, providing patients with more accurate treatment plans.

In the future, the integration of intelligent medical devices will further expand the application boundaries of liquid silicone, such as wearable health monitoring devices that combine conductive liquid silicone to achieve real-time monitoring of flexible electrocardiogram electrodes. The innovation of liquid silicone in the medical field not only enhances the safety and durability of medical products, but also promotes the development of medical technology towards a more humane and precise direction.
