Medical Silicone Compliance: Why It Matters
Healthcare-grade silicone elastomers must meet strict standards for purity, clarity, durability, and biocompatibility. Momentive’s Silopren™ LSR 4000 series is engineered to comply with these requirements, making it ideal for both disposable and reusable medical devices.
Key Compliance Features
- Biocompatibility: Safe for contact with body fluids and medications
- Regulatory Standards: Meets stringent healthcare regulations and ISO, USP Class VI compliance, and FDA requirements
- Sterilization Resistance: Maintains performance after repeated autoclave, gamma, or EO sterilization
- Primerless Adhesion: Bonds to substrates like PC, PBT, and copolyesters without post-curing
- Aging and Chemical Stability: Withstands harsh environments and extreme temperatures
