Application in the medical industry

Organosilicon has a wide range of applications in the medical industry, covering multiple aspects from surgical procedures to daily medical care

Surgical procedures. Organic silicon materials are widely used in medical instruments and equipment required for surgical procedures due to their excellent biocompatibility, chemical inertness, low allergenicity, and stability in various environments. For example, the manufacturing of key medical devices such as cardiac resynchronization devices and pacemakers, as well as disposable medical products such as medical stents and catheters, all rely on the application of silicone materials.

Medical stents and catheters. Organic silicon solutions are applied in the manufacturing of medical stents and catheters, which can improve the corrosion resistance and stress resistance of stents, prevent coagulation, and reduce tissue ingrowth. At the same time, they are also used as materials for manufacturing medical catheters, which need to have good biocompatibility, low allergenicity, and disinfectability to enhance patient tolerance.

Implantable neural stimulation devices, organic silicon materials can also be used in gaskets, seals, adhesives, wire insulation, and drug delivery systems to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device.
