We all know that there are many types of silicone products. Perhaps the ones we know less about are medical silicone and food-grade silicone. Medical silicone certification standards are stricter for medical use! Their applications are also different.
Food-grade silica gel: the tube mouth is round, not flat, small stress, less material in two counties, wall thickness uniformity instrument, product chemical performance is stable, reagent performance is good, some imported materials have passed the biocompatibility cytotoxicity test. Resistance to weak acid and alkali, chemical reagent, liquid medicine, alcohol, etc.
Food-grade silicone: Food-grade silicone tubes are mainly used as medical device accessories, medical catheters, and use inhibition design to ensure safety. Food-grade silicone tubes are usually used as water dispensers, coffee machines, and ventilation lines for household appliances. Maintenance, used for medical equipment connecting pipelines, catheters, etc.; baby bottle mouths, catheters, etc.; electrical equipment and other casings.
Medical silica gel: Medical silica gel tube has super performance and is widely used in oxygen ventilator, medical drainage tube, pharmaceutical equipment, infusion catheter, cosmetics, biological research, chemical experiment, food and beverage transmission, veterinary medicine and pharmaceutical fields, etc.
Medical silica gel has high strength, tear resistance, strong resilience; good physiological inertia, implanted in the human body, and will not react with human tissue.
Medical silica gel is biological silica gel, which is a fairly common biological material used in cosmetic surgery. It is liquid silicone rubber. Silicone rubber has good biocompatibility, non-irritating, non-toxic, non-allergic, and very few body rejection reactions to human tissues; it has good chemical characteristics, and can interact with body fluids and tissues in the process of understanding. It maintains its original elasticity and softness without being hydrolyzed, and is a fairly stable inert substance.
Medical silicone certification standards are stricter for medical use! Applications are also different. Food-grade application tableware or food packaging sealing silicone, etc.! The latter can be used in areas such as in-vivo beauty and has stronger biocompatibility!
