This is a cylindrical knob silicone anti-slip sleeve. It’s made for surgical instruments and medical devices in the healthcare industry. It’s a practical auxiliary part of General Medical Sealing and Basic Components and Silicone Medical Components.Its main shape is a hollow cylinder. This shape lets it fit over the outside of other parts. Its height is longer than its thickness. Its diameter depends on the part it’s made to fit. This lets it work with instrument handles and equipment knobs of different thicknesses. The surface has concave-convex patterns. Things like vertical or annular stripes. These patterns make the surface rougher. This helps increase friction. The edges are neat. There are no sharp burrs.It’s made of high-quality medical silicone seal material. It matches the core performance standards of Medical Seals. It gives reliable anti-slip protection to surgical instruments and medical devices.
Product Features
1. Functions
1)Friction Enhancement:During medical operations, people use surgical instruments or adjust medical equipment. The patterns on the anti-slip sleeve’s surface work well to increase friction. This friction is between the hand and the instrument or equipment part. It stops the hand from slipping when operating. This makes operations more stable and precise. This functional advantage helps meet the usability requirements of Medical Equipment Basics. It also supports the safe operation of medical devices. It’s similar to the stability role of Universal Gaskets in equipment assembly.
2)Protection and Cushioning:It can protect the part it covers. It reduces damage to the part from external collisions and scratches. This makes instruments or equipment last longer. At the same time, silicone is elastic. This elasticity can work as a cushion when the part gets hit from outside. It reduces the chance of internal parts getting damaged. Its protective effect is the same as the barrier function of Medical Device Seals and Sterile Medical Seals in preventing equipment damage.
3)Thermal Insulation and Temperature Retention:Silicone itself has some thermal insulation performance. Sometimes, people need to touch parts that are warm or low-temperature. In these cases, the anti-slip sleeve can keep heat out or keep temperature steady. It protects medical staff’s hands. It also keeps the part’s temperature stable. This thermal performance makes Silicone Medical Components useful for more than just anti-slip. It expands their application scope.
2. Required Characteristics
1)Biocompatibility:Silicone anti-slip sleeves used in the medical industry must have excellent biocompatibility. They have to meet relevant medical standards. Like ISO 10993. When they touch the human body, they can’t cause bad reactions. Things like allergies, irritation, or inflammation won’t happen. They can be used safely in different medical scenarios. This is a basic requirement for all Medical Grade Silicone Seals and Medical Seals that touch the human body.
2)Chemical Resistance:The medical environment has different chemical substances. Like disinfectants, cleaning agents, and medical fluids. The anti-slip sleeve must stand being worn away by these chemicals. It won’t dissolve, swell, discolor, or get old. It works normally even in complex chemical environments. This chemical stability is as good as that of Sterile Medical Seals exposed to harsh medical environments.
3)Cleaning and Disinfection Adaptability:It must be easy to clean. Its surface won’t adsorb dirt, bacteria, or other contaminants easily. Also, it must stand common disinfection methods. This includes high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization. It also includes chemical disinfection—like wiping with alcohol or soaking in chlorine-containing disinfectant. And it includes ultraviolet disinfection. After disinfection, its anti-slip ability, elasticity, and other performance won’t be affected. This meets the hygiene standards of General Medical Sealing and Basic Components in medical settings.
4)Elasticity and Flexibility:It must have good elasticity. This lets it fit tightly around the part it covers. It won’t come off easily. At the same time, it must be flexible. This makes it easy to install and take off. Even after being used and bent many times, it won’t break. This mechanical performance is as good as that of high-quality medical silicone seal. It meets the installation flexibility requirements of medical accessories.
5)Wear Resistance:It’s used often. So the anti-slip sleeve must be highly resistant to wear. The patterns on its surface won’t get worn down easily. This lets it keep working well to prevent slipping for a long time. This durability matches the service life requirements of Silicone Medical Components and Universal Gaskets in high-frequency use scenarios.
6)Dimensional Stability:It might be in different temperature and humidity conditions. Even so, it must keep its size stable. It won’t change size too much. Things like thermal expansion, contraction, or moisture absorption won’t cause big size changes. This avoids affecting how easy it is to use and how well it fits. This stability is crucial for keeping it compatible with medical parts for a long time. It’s similar to the precision requirements of Medical Vial Cap Seals for dimensional accuracy.
