The Future of Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) in Medical Manufacturing

The medical manufacturing industry continues to face more challenging requirements for medical products, as well as strict regulations and end-user expectations for devices (such as wearables). The manufacturer's task is to meet these needs while maintaining low costs without sacrificing quality. One technology that manufacturers are turning to stand out from the competition is liquid silicone rubber (lsr) molding. With the continuous growth of demand, the future of LSR in the medical manufacturing industry looks very promising.

Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is a platinum cured elastomer. LSR starts as a liquid composed of two parts to accelerate the reaction of the two parts, so as to form a liquid that can be injected into the mold cavity to make a part of solid rubber heated. LSR has excellent properties, such as low viscosity and low shrinkage, which makes it the best choice for complex products and components in injection molding and manufacturing. One of the advantages of LSR is that it cures faster than most other rubber materials; In addition, due to the highly automated nature of injection molding, products can be produced in a very short time. LSR is a multi-functional rubber in the elastomer industry and has a wide range of end uses, including medical devices such as stents and catheters.

Benefits of LSR in medical manufacturing

In medical manufacturing, LSR has many attractive properties, such as durability, low viscosity, chemical and temperature resistance, and flexibility, but its biocompatibility is very outstanding. LSR has proven excellent compatibility with human tissues and body fluids, and is resistant to bacterial growth. The medical LSR has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and convenient sterilization. It can be used with various medical devices and accessories, including implantable equipment, liquid feeding bottle, dialysis filter and oxygen mask instrument. In addition, the demand for wearable medical devices continues to grow, leading to higher demand for LSR.

Medical manufacturing usually requires high cleanliness to avoid contamination during processing. In fact, many manufacturers, such as ProMed, use clean rooms to reduce the risk of pollution and achieve the necessary clean production process. One of the advantages of LSR is that it can be molded by injection molding, which is a highly automated process and further reduces the risk of contamination of operators, equipment or the environment.
