Product Features
1. Functions
1)Sealing Function:This is the main job of the medical silicone F-Ring. It’s used in medical devices. Things like infusion pumps, syringe pumps, pipeline connections of various medical instruments, and valve interfaces. It fills gaps. It stops liquids and gases from leaking. Liquids can be things like medical fluids and flushing fluids. It keeps the system airtight. This makes sure the equipment works normally and the treatment process is safe. For example, at the joint of an infusion pipeline, it stops medical fluid from leaking. This avoids waste and contamination. Its sealing reliability meets the strict standards of Medical Device Seals and Sterile Medical Seals for critical medical fluid systems.
2)Shock Absorption and Cushioning:Some medical devices vibrate when they work. Friction may also happen between components. The silicone F-Ring can work as a cushion. It reduces the impact of vibration on the precision internal components of the equipment. It lowers noise too. At the same time, it reduces wear between components. This makes the equipment last longer. This buffering performance helps with the functional advantages of Universal Gaskets. It also matches the durability requirements of Medical Equipment Basics.
3)Insulation Protection:Silicone itself has great electrical insulation properties. Some medical devices have electrical connections. In these devices, the F-Ring can stop electric leakage. It works as an insulation protector. This keeps operators and patients safe. This insulation property makes Silicone Medical Components useful for more than just sealing. It makes electromedical equipment safer.
2.Required Characteristics
1)Biocompatibility:It must have very high biocompatibility. It has to meet medical-grade material standards. When it touches human tissues and body fluids, it can’t cause bad reactions. Things like allergies, inflammation, or toxicity won’t happen. This makes sure it’s safe to use. For example, when used in medical pipeline systems that touch the human body directly, it can’t harm human health. 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, acid-alkaline reagents, and drug solutions. The F-Ring must stand being worn away by these chemicals. It won’t dissolve, swell, discolor, or get old. It keeps excellent physical and chemical properties. It also keeps its sealing effect. This chemical stability is as good as that of Sterile Medical Seals exposed to harsh medical environments.
3)High-Temperature and High-Pressure Resistance:Medical equipment and instruments need disinfection. For example, high-temperature and high-pressure steam sterilization. This usually uses 121℃–134℃ for 15–30 minutes. The silicone F-Ring must stand these high-temperature and high-pressure environments. It won’t change shape, melt, or release harmful substances. It can still be used after disinfection. This resistance matches the disinfection adaptability of Medical Vial Cap Seals and other reusable medical seals.
4)Excellent Elasticity and Flexibility:It must have great elasticity. When it’s compressed or stretched, it can bounce back to its original shape quickly. This makes sure it has good sealing performance. At the same time, it must be flexible. This makes it easy to install on interfaces of different shapes and sizes. It won’t break easily. This mechanical performance is as good as that of high-quality medical silicone seal. It meets the installation flexibility requirements of General Medical Sealing and Basic Components.
5)Aging Resistance:It’s used for a long time. During this time, it must stand the effects of certain factors. Like ultraviolet rays, ozone, and temperature changes. It keeps stable performance. It won’t get old too early, become hard, or lose elasticity. This makes sure it has reliable sealing effect for a long time. It meets the service life standards of Silicone Medical Components in long-term use scenarios.
6)Cleaning and Disinfection Adaptability:It must be easy to clean. Its surface won’t adsorb dirt and microorganisms easily. Also, it must stand multiple disinfection methods. This includes more than just high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization. It also includes chemical disinfection—like wiping with alcohol and soaking in chlorine-containing disinfectant. And it includes ultraviolet disinfection. After disinfection, its performance and appearance won’t be affected. This meets the hygiene standards of Medical Seals in medical settings.
