2. Medical and Life Sciences: Benchmarking Biocompatibility and Safety
Fluorosilicone is an ideal material for medical contact devices due to its non-toxic, odorless, hypoallergenic, and excellent blood compatibility.
Implantable devices: Prosthetic heart valve sealing rings, vascular stent coatings, and drug delivery catheters require long-term stability and resistance to rejection in the human body. Fluorosilicone exhibits excellent resistance to body fluid corrosion and calcification deposition, significantly extending device life.
In vitro diagnostic and consumables: Components that directly contact drugs or biological samples, such as medical catheters, drainage tubing, and syringe piston seals, use fluorosilicone with low leachable properties to minimize contamination risks. Fluorosilicone complies with stringent biocompatibility standards such as the FDA and ISO 10993, making it widely used in dialysis equipment and surgical instrument kits.
Emerging medical technologies: Cutting-edge applications such as microfluidic chip channel sealing and biosensor protective membranes are driving technological breakthroughs thanks to the flexibility and precision molding capabilities of fluorosilicone.
