With the continuous advancement of medical technology, medical-grade platinum-cured silicone has been widely adopted across routine clinical diagnosis, nursing consumables, and medical device manufacturing—thanks to its exceptional safety profile and adaptability. This material has become a cornerstone in safeguarding both practitioner and patient safety while enhancing the treatment experience. Its widespread application also reflects a steady national advancement toward safer and higher-quality medical materials.

Compared with traditional medical silicone, platinum-cured silicone uses platinum as a catalyst, producing no harmful by-product residues during vulcanization and achieving a purity level of over 99.9% —eliminating material-induced medical risks at the source. It not only complies with international medical standards such as ISO 10993 and USP Class VI but also withstands mainstream sterilization methods including high-pressure steam and ethylene oxide. Its performance remains uncompromised after repeated sterilization, effectively resolving traditional materials' weaknesses in sterilization tolerance, aging, and cracking.

In routine clinical practice, platinum-cured silicone is extensively used in common medical consumables such as ventilator circuits, infusion tube connectors, and urinary catheters. Its softness, elasticity, and reliable sealing reduce irritation to patients’ skin and mucous membranes while preventing fluid leakage, ensuring procedural safety. For example, in ICUs, platinum-cured silicone reinforced tubing meets high-pressure transmission requirements and is manufactured in ISO 14644 Class 7 cleanrooms, ensuring particle-free fluid transfer and providing dependable life support for critically ill patients.

In primary care and long-term nursing, the material also excels. Products such as PICC line waterproof protective sleeves and burn rehabilitation dressings made from platinum-cured silicone meet implantable-grade biocompatibility standards, are non-allergenic, and can maintain prolonged skin contact. These characteristics effectively prevent infection while significantly improving patient comfort. Clinical data indicates that PICC waterproof sleeves made from this material can reduce catheter-related infection rates to below 0.5% , markedly enhancing the safety of long-term care.

Industry experts note that the broad adoption of medical-grade platinum-cured silicone not only elevates the quality of conventional medical devices and consumables but also reduces clinical risks—making premium medical materials accessible to a larger patient population. As manufacturing processes continue to improve, this material is expected to further expand its presence in primary healthcare settings, contributing to the protection of public health nationwide.
