As one of the most commonly used biomaterials, silicone is increasingly used in health care and medical fields due to its excellent properties in biological compatibility and other properties.

Global Medical-grade silicone market by product type: Elastomers, gels, Medical adhesives, medical coatings, etc. Press application: contact lenses, medical equipment, medical tape, etc. And region: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa (2017) is valued at us $1,117.8 million and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period (2018 to 2026). The global medical-grade silicone market is estimated to exceed US $1.9 billion by 2026.

LSR has many attractions such as durability, low viscosity, chemical and temperature resistance, and flexibility, but its biological compatibility is excellent. LSRS have been shown to be highly compatible with human tissues and body fluids and resistant to bacterial growth.

The LSR's medical grade is temperature resistant, easy to disinfect, and compatible with a variety of medical devices and accessories, including implant devices, liquid feed bottles, dialysis filters, and oxygen mask instruments.

In addition, wearable medical devices are gaining popularity, leading to increased demand for LSRS.

1. Good biological compatibility
2. Hypoallergenic
3, low deformation
4. Lifelike touch
5, high strength and durability
6. High elasticity
7.High stability
8, lubricity
9, antibacterial
10. No phthalates

The LSR is particularly suited to the medical market because it offers medical device makers shorter cure times, lower curing temperatures, and greater consistency. Because it is well suited to automation, it can limit pollution in cleaning room manufacturing operations. LSR also offers improved purity and biocompatibility compared to high consistency rubber silicone.
