New Product: Silicones spruce-up medical hardware
A range of custom colorable silicones for overmolding multiple-use medical devices can take hundreds of sterilizations.
A proprietary silicone
bonding process creates a hermetic
seal between the silicone and overmolded
substrates including stainless
steel, aluminum, and polyetheretherketone.
Bonds withstand repeated
autoclaving and inhibit the migration
of body fluids between sealed
surfaces. A range of durometers, and
conductive or insulated materials can
further enhance the silicones. In addition,
many of the silicones are USP
Class-6 and ISO-10993 implantablegrade
materials.
