Silicone materials, especially medical-grade silicone materials, are widely used in the medical industry. Due to their unique physical, chemical and biocompatibility properties, these materials are non-toxic and non-irritating to human tissues when used on Class II and Class III devices. They have good biocompatibility and are suitable for long-term implantation in the body. They are widely used as auxiliary lubricants in various medical devices, medical catheters, medical equipment, wound care products, artificial organ assistive devices and other scenarios.

Common silicone lubricant base oils are divided into the following categories. Different silicones such as dimethyl silicone, phenyl silicone, alkyl silicone, and fluorosilicone have different characteristics and are suitable for different usage scenarios, but not all silicones are suitable for medical scenarios. The premise of use is that the formula ingredients do not contain toxic and harmful substances, and they need to strictly pass various test conclusions such as biocompatibility.

Dimethyl silicone: It is known for its excellent thermal stability and chemical stability, so it is widely used in many fields. In the machinery industry, it can significantly reduce wear and friction and protect mechanical parts.

Phenyl silicone: It has higher viscosity and lower volatility than the former. This allows phenyl silicone oil to maintain excellent stability and wear resistance under high temperature and high pressure environments. Therefore, phenyl silicone oil is often used as a lubricant and sealant in oilfield development and petrochemical industries.

Alkyl silicone: Compared with traditional dimethyl silicone, it has significantly improved and expanded in performance and application. It is not miscible with materials such as plastics and rubber, and has good heat resistance and oxidation resistance.

After briefly understanding the different characteristics and advantages of silicone, the following focuses on recommending fluorosilicon, which is the most and most stable in medical industry scene applications. Compared with the above common silicone lubricating products, fluorosilicon has more stable performance and better high temperature resistance and is widely used in various medical scene lubrication. Although fluorosilicon is obviously slightly higher in price, compared with medical equipment that costs tens of thousands of yuan, in the use experience, use risks or product production process, the use safety of the product is affected by the wrong matching of lubricants, which affects normal production. This loss is difficult to estimate, which is one of the reasons why fluorosilicon is favored by the medical industry.
