Silicone Catheter Assemblies

Medical silicone catheters are usually made up of multiple components, here are some common ones:

Silicone catheter body: The main part of the silicone catheter is usually made of soft medical silicone material, which has good biocompatibility and flexibility.

Bending controller: used to control the bending and deflection of the silicone catheter. Bending controllers are usually made up of multiple joints and can be operated with an external joystick or controller.

Optical fiber or camera: Silicone catheters are usually equipped with optical fibers or cameras that are used to transmit image or video signals, allowing doctors to observe and examine the target area in real time.

Connector: used to connect silicone catheters and other equipment or tools, such as light sources, cameras, etc. Connectors usually have standard interfaces for connecting to other devices.

FEATURES

Medical Silicone Catheter Assemblies

Markings or Graduations: Silicone catheters may have markings or graduations on them to help doctors determine the location and depth of the catheter.

Valves or pistons: Silicone tubing may have valves or pistons to control the flow of liquid or gas.

Accessories and accessories: Silicone catheters may be equipped with accessories and accessories, such as syringes, sampling instruments, etc., to meet different operational needs.

These components can be customized and adjusted to specific application needs to meet the requirements of medical operations and ensure safe and effective use. Specific components and configurations should be determined based on physician needs and equipment availability.

As experts in silicone, we offer a complete catheter solution including silicone extrusion, balloon forming, shaft/funnel overmolding, manufacturing, and assembly––all backed by decades of silicone catheter innovation.

Medical Silicone Benefits

Medical silicone tubes have several advantages that make them widely used in the medical field:

Biocompatibility: Medical silicone tubes have good biocompatibility and will not cause obvious tissue irritation or allergic reactions. This makes it suitable for medical applications that come into contact with the human body, such as catheters, catheter connectors, artificial organs, etc.

Softness and elasticity: Silicone tubes have good softness and elasticity and can adapt to different anatomical structures and operating needs. It can travel through curved or tortuous channels without breaking or deforming.

High temperature and low temperature resistance: Silicone tube has good high temperature and low temperature resistance and can be used in a wide temperature range. This makes it suitable for medical applications requiring high temperature sterilization or low temperature freezing.

Chemical resistance: Silicone tubes have good resistance to many chemicals and are not susceptible to corrosion or dissolution. This makes it suitable for medical applications in contact with a variety of drugs, disinfectants and chemicals.

Transparency: Silicone tube has good transparency, and the state of the fluid or substance inside it can be observed. This is useful for operations such as monitoring fluid flow, drug delivery, and sampling.

Wear resistance and durability: Silicone tubes have good wear resistance and durability and can withstand long-term use and repeated operations. This makes it suitable for medical applications that require frequent replacement or reuse.

Medical silicone tubes are widely used in the medical field, including but not limited to the following fields:

Catheters and catheter connectors: such as infusion catheters, drainage tubes, endotracheal tubes, etc.

Artificial organs and implants: such as artificial heart valves, artificial joints, breast prostheses, etc.

Medical equipment and instruments: such as blood pressure monitors, ventilators, dialysis machines, etc.

Drug delivery systems: such as infusion tubes, infusion pumps, drug syringes, etc.

Laboratory and diagnostic equipment: such as test tubes, petri dishes, blood collection tubes, etc.

In general, medical silicone tubes have the advantages of biocompatibility, softness, elasticity, high and low temperature resistance, chemical resistance, transparency, wear resistance and durability, making them widely used in the medical field for a variety of medical devices, equipment and implants.
