Application of Silicone Products in Bioengineering

In the field of bioengineering, silicone products have a wide range of applications. These products are favored for their excellent properties, including biocompatibility, biotolerance, chemical and thermal stability, durability, hydrophobicity and elasticity.

1) Medical devices: Silicones are widely used in the manufacture of medical devices, especially those that require long-term implantation in the human body. For example, molds, tubing, dental impressions, prostheses, respirators, intravenous drug and blood transfusion systems, ventilation masks, breathing tubes, catheters, medical adhesive applications, topical and transdermal preparations, antacid and anti-flatulence drugs, etc.

2) Biopharmaceutical processes: The application of silicone in the field of biopharmaceuticals is becoming increasingly important. It is used in the pharmaceutical process of improved new drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, ADCs and other world-class projects. Silicone products can improve the efficiency and stability of pharmaceutical processes, improve the purity of drugs and the accuracy of drug liquid transmission, so that patients can obtain qualified drugs more quickly and safely.

3) Other applications: Silicone is also used in professional contact lenses, drainage tubes and shunts, urinary catheters, reconstructive gel fillings, craniofacial prostheses, nerve conduits and metatarsophalangeal joint implants.

In short, silicone plays an important role in bioengineering and provides a reliable material choice for medical device and drug manufacturing.
