Unlimited potential of silicone rubber in medical industry
After decades of clinical application, silicone rubber as a medical material has been recognized by the medical community and applied more and more widely. Many large companies take medical silicone rubber as the main goal of development, and medical silicone rubber has made great progress.
In short, medical silicone rubber has been widely and important used in life science, medical devices, medicine and other fields, but there is still great potential to be tapped. With the development of life science and the research of biomaterials, it will make greater contributions to human society.
In the current development level of medical science and technology, medical silicone products can not be underestimated. Nowadays, medical silica gel products such as medical silica gel bag, medical silica gel tube, silica gel bandage and silica gel pad have been put into the market, and medical grade silica gel has been put into use. In terms of medical use, silica gel must be tested for biocompatibility and meet the requirements of the US Food and drug administration.
medical silica gel uses:
1. Solid medical silicone rubber can replace bone or cartilage as tissue filling or scaffold materials, so it can be made into artificial joints and artificial tendons to repair the defects of limbs joints and tendons. Plastic materials are often used to repair the deformity and defect of face, ear and nose.
Catheter: medical catheter is the fastest growing and most widely used product in medical silicone rubber products. According to the use, it can be divided into in vivo and in vitro. In vitro, there are mainly various kinds of pump tubes, such as pump tubes of artificial cardiopulmonary machine, connecting tubes with various instruments, infusion tubes, etc; All kinds of catheters, catheters and drainage tubes are used in the body. At present, the development trend of medical catheter for human body is miniaturization, thin wall, multi cavity and one tube multi-function. Especially for indwelling catheter, no matter long-term or short-term use, the advantages of silicone rubber material and catheter are unmatched by other materials
Craniocerebral surgical products: silicone rubber products used in craniocerebral surgery mainly include: artificial skull, silicon titanium composite repair material, hydrocephalus six devices, ventricular drainage tube, artificial meninges. At present, the artificial meninges made of silicone rubber and nylon fabric developed in China can be used to repair traumatic dural defects, cerebral infarction, cerebral infarction, cerebral infarction, etc Repair of dural or dural defects caused by resection of the tumor in the dural pedicle or infiltration area.
Ent products: silicone rubber products used in ENT include: artificial nose bridge, artificial chin, mandible, artificial ear, artificial throat, otitis media ventilation tube, lacrimal passage probing device, lacrimal passage plug, nostril bracket, snore suppressor, nasal hemostatic balloon, wave tube of artificial ventilator, tracheotomy cannula, etc. At present, silicone rubber has been widely used in cosmetic surgery and repair, which can repair all parts of the face, viscera, chest, joints and so on.
Cardiac surgical products: silicone rubber products used in cardiac surgery mainly include extracorporeal circulation pump tube, thoracic drainage tube, artificial lung silicone membrane, artificial heart spherical mitral valve, etc.
Digestive system products: silicone rubber gastric tube, duodenal tube, double lumen cannula, nutrition tube, gastric decompression tube, gastrostomy tube, gastric lavage tube, enema device, etc. in the past, these products were mainly made of PVC materials. With the reduction of production cost of silicone rubber, the flexibility and elasticity of silicone rubber products are more ideal, Therefore, PVC products have been replaced in China.
Abdominal surgery and reproductive system products: silicone rubber products used in abdominal surgery mainly include: peritoneal dialysis tube, abdominal drainage tube, T-tube, Y-tube, ty tube, capillary drainage tube, porous drainage tube, negative pressure drainage device, anti adhesion membrane, etc; There are many kinds of applications in the reproductive system, including various catheters, fistulas, penile prosthesis, artificial testis, fetal aspirator, uterine hot ball therapeutic apparatus, silicone rubber contraceptive device, subcutaneous implantation contraceptive device, etc.
