Key Applications by Product in Medical Industry
Applauded for its tested biocompatibility, flexibility and anti-ageing traits, silicone is undoubtedly the pragmatic choice in the medical sector. Silicone’s importance can be traced by the fact that it is the safest option for treatment purposes, whether it is a minor skin touch or a year-long implantation. Acknowledging the gravity of its requirements, Makvin Polymer specializes in medical-grade silicone products with a non-negotiable approach towards maintaining the quality that defines the integrity of the medical industry.
With a dedicated concern for patient’s comfort and high-standard safety, Makvin Polymer has emerged as a leading silicone product manufacturer in India, dealing with a cluster of products like silicone tubing, diaphragms, O-rings, gaskets and customized silicone components. Our high-precision products cater to various crucial applications like fluid-transfer systems, peristaltic pumps, diagnostic instruments, suction equipment etc. Let’s explore them in detail.
Medical-grade silicone tubings are basically hollow and flexible in structure, and transfer liquids, gases or air. Absolutely platinum-cured, these tubings are tailored for the medical industry with a wide temperature range, and they meet necessary biocompatible standards like USP Class VI and ISO 10993. These traits make them an ideal option for patient care applications like catheters, feeding tubes, drainage tubes, IV lines, respiratory tubing etc. Further, medical silicone tubings are transparent, allowing the medical staff to inspect if there is any bubble or blockage in the fluid flow. Moreover, these tubings are also useful in peristaltic pumps, catering to dialysis equipment, drug infusion, blood transport etc.
Product highlights
- USP Class VI and ISO 10993 certified
- Wide temperature range
- Transparent and flexible
- Non-leachable and durable
Key use cases
- Transfer systems (fluid, gas or air)
- Peristaltic pumps
- Surgical and implantables
- Diagnostic equipment
Made from liquid silicone rubber or high-consistency silicone, medical-grade silicone diaphragms are USP Class VI and ISO 10993 certified, making them absolutely safe for contact with tissue or fluid. These thin, flexible and molded membranes retain high performance as they can endure millions of flex cycles before they ask for any compensation. On top of that, these membranes can resist temperatures from -60 to 200 degree celsius, making them apt for autoclave, gamma and EtO sterilization. Further, they play pivotal roles in pumps and valves.
Product highlights
- Biocompatible with low extractables
- Broad temperature range
- Chemically stable
- Flexible and long-lasting
Key use cases
- Pumps for infusion and dialysis
- Check valves, duckbill valves, and pressure-relief valves in IV sets, respiratory devices and drainage systems
- Respiratory equipment
- Auto-injectors, inhalers and dosing devices
Medical-grade silicone O-rings refer to the donut-shaped seals that sit in the groove between two parts, and block any kind of leakage when compressed. These rings are flexible, soft and hypoallergenic (non-allergic), making them a go-to choice for seals in IV sets, infusion pumps, dialysis machines etc. Next, they also aid in delivering drugs inside inhalers and auto-injectors. Furthermore, they are widely acknowledged for lab equipment like seal analyzers, sample cartridges, pipetting systems etc. However, it is important to note that in some cases, especially when exposed to some oils and hydrocarbons, even these platinum-cured silicone O-rings can swell.
Product highlights
- Low compression set, hence long life span
- Supports sterilization
- Biocompatible
- Vast temperature range (−60 °C to 200 °C)
Key use cases
- Surgical and endoscopic equipment
- Diagnostic and lab tools
- Fluid and gas connections
- Respiratory equipment
In simple terms, medical-grade silicone gaskets refer to the elastic seals that sit between two mating surfaces in order to block any kind of leaks or air and fluid ingress. Them being inert and biocompatible, do not pose any threat of contaminating drugs or irritating tissue. Made with platinum-cured methods, silicone gaskets for the medical industry are mostly molded in cleanroom conditions, so rest assured that they arrive absolutely free of particles, microbes and residues. Their common applications include being regularly used in respiratory equipment, infusion pumps, dialysis machines, endoscopic tools etc. Adding on, they are also useful as closures and seals for sterile vessels and drug-delivery systems.
Product highlights
- Vast temperature range
- Biocompatible and durable
- Non-allergic and non-leachable
- Handles sterilization well
Key use cases
- Medical devices like respiratory equipment, infusion pumps, dialysis machines etc.
- Analyzers, sample cartridges, pipetting systems etc.
- Packaging and containers
- Tri-clamp a.k.a. tri-clover connections
FAQs
Silicone or silicone products are biocompatible, non-leachable, heat-resistant, non-allergic and flexible, making them pragmatic choices for medical purposes, both for short and long term use.
Although both of them work as seals, the difference lies in their shapes and where they are used. O-rings are donut-shaped and fit best in pistons, valves, pump shafts, connectors and syringes. On the other hand, gaskets are usually flat or custom-shaped that fit best in tri-clamp fittings, flanges, filter housings etc.
As a leading customized silicone product manufacturer in India, Makvin Polymer welcomes custom demands where you can ask for color options, hardness adjustments and special profiles for specific devices.
Although there are no major trade-offs with medical-grade silicone products, they are reported to be prone to tears in some rare cases like being exposed to certain solvents and hydrocarbons.
