The use of woven silicone tubing materials in the medical field
Time:2022-06-20Page views:2698Flame retardant braided silicone tubing is based on high molecular weight linear polyethylene (siloxane), with specific components added and processed according to certain process requirements to produce rubber elastomers with certain strength and elongation.
As a medical material, silicone rubber has a series of excellent characteristics such as high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, hydrophobicity, flexibility, permeability, aging resistance, high transparency, physiological inertia, non adhesion to human tissues and blood, good biological adaptability, non-toxic, tasteless, and non carcinogenic.
Silicone rubber, as an excellent medical polymer material, has attracted the attention of professionals in the rubber industry and medical field.
as a result of:
1. As a rubber medical material, it has high technological content, low cost, high added value, and considerable economic benefits;
2. By utilizing the medical properties of silicone rubber, many problems can be solved and patients can achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects.
3. Rubber has a wide range of sources, is easy to produce and finely process, and has good social and economic benefits.
Silicone rubber and polyurethane, as excellent materials for biomedical braided silicone tubing applications, have attracted widespread attention from the rubber industry and medical field. At present, from the development trend of medical rubber products and the demand of the medical market, their varieties, quantities, and quantities are constantly increasing, and their uses are also expanding. In the future, with the continuous improvement of rubber processing technology and medical technology, it is believed that there will be better medical rubber products put into clinical application to meet the needs of patients.
The reason why rubber products are widely used in the medical field is mainly due to their own performance and structural characteristics. For example, the rubber stopper used for sealing packaging of medical drugs requires a certain degree of elasticity, which can still maintain its original tightness and airtightness after needle punching, and there should be no debris falling off. However, the characteristics of rubber itself are difficult to meet current medical needs, so it is necessary to modify rubber or add some reagents to change its own shortcomings in order to meet medical applications.
The two widely used rubber materials at present are flame-retardant braided silicone tubes and polyurethane. Polyurethane has good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties, easy molding and processing, and controllable performance. Silicone rubber has the advantages of physiological inertness and good biocompatibility, which have been discovered in medicine for a long time and have been studied and researched by industry insiders.
