Medical-grade silicone oil is a specially purified and treated polydimethylsiloxane with a silicon-oxygen bond as the main chain structure and highly stable chemical properties. It is widely used in the medical field due to its safety and functionality.
In terms of structure, the molecules of medical-grade silicone oil are arranged regularly, and impurities and harmful substances are strictly controlled at extremely low levels, ensuring biocompatibility. It is not easy to cause immune rejection after entering the human body. This characteristic makes it an ideal material for artificial lenses and plastic implants, helping patients restore vision and reshape their appearance.
In addition, medical-grade silicone oil also has excellent lubricity and high and low temperature resistance. In medical device manufacturing, it acts as a lubricant to reduce friction between instrument components and ensure stable operation of the equipment; in surgical operations, especially ophthalmic operations, silicone oil can be used as an intraocular filler to help reposition the retina, and it can remain stable for a long time in the complex environment of the eye, and will not change its properties due to factors such as body temperature and eye metabolism.
With its high purity, good biocompatibility and stable physical and chemical properties, medical-grade silicone oil has become an indispensable material in the medical industry, bringing hope of recovery to many patients and continuously promoting the advancement and development of medical technology.
