This is an Medical rubber diaphragm with screws. It’s made for handles of surgical instruments and medical connectors in the healthcare industry. It’s a functional part of General Medical Sealing and Basic Components and Silicone Medical Components.The product has a regular oblate shape overall. It’s small in size. Its outer layer is a silicone overmolding layer. There’s a metal part embedded in the middle of this layer. This metal part has protruding cylindrical structures. These structures are used to connect with other components.The overmolding layer is made of high-quality medical silicone seal material. It matches the core performance standards of Medical Seals. It gives reliable protection and functional support to surgical instruments and medical connectors.
Product Features
1. Functions
1)Protection of Metal Components:In situations like medical connectors, the overmolding layer can protect the internal metal joints. It stops them from being worn away by external chemicals, moisture, and other substances. This makes the metal components last longer. At the same time, it stops the metal components from accidentally scratching medical staff. It also stops them from damaging other medical supplies. Its protective effect is the same as the barrier function of Medical Device Seals and Sterile Medical Seals. It meets the durability requirements of Medical Equipment Basics.
2)Electrical Insulation:Some medical devices have electrical connections. If the metal components in these devices are energized, the rubber or silicone overmolding layer can work as an electrical insulator. It stops operators from getting an electric shock. This makes sure using the device is safe. This insulation property helps with the safety design of Universal Gaskets and other medical accessories. It’s especially useful in electromedical equipment.
3)Shock Absorption and Cushioning:When surgical instruments get hit by something external or vibrate, the overmolding layer can work as a cushion. It reduces the impact force on the metal frame. This protects the internal structure of the instrument from damage. It also keeps the instrument’s precision and performance intact. This shock-absorbing performance matches the functional advantages of Silicone Medical Components in making equipment easier to use.
2. Required Characteristics
1)Biocompatibility:It’s used in the medical industry. So it must have excellent biocompatibility. When it touches human tissues and body fluids, it can’t cause allergies, inflammation, or other bad reactions. It has to meet the safety standards for medical-grade materials. This is a basic requirement for all Medical Grade Silicone Seals and Medical Seals that may touch the human body.
2)Chemical Resistance:The medical environment has different disinfectants, cleaning agents, and chemical reagents. The overmolded part must stand being worn away by these chemical substances. It won’t change shape, dissolve, discolor, or have other problems. This makes sure it works stably for a long time. This chemical stability is as good as that of Sterile Medical Seals exposed to harsh medical environments.
3)Wear Resistance:Surgical instruments are used often. The overmolded part on the handle gets rubbed continuously. So it needs high wear resistance. This lets it keep anti-slip and other performance. The overmolded part of medical connectors also needs to stand wear during insertion and removal operations. This makes sure the connection is reliable. This wear resistance meets the durability standards of General Medical Sealing and Basic Components in high-frequency use scenarios.
4)High-Temperature and High-Pressure Resistance:To make sure medical devices are sterile, they usually need high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization. The overmolded part must stand these sterilization conditions. It won’t change shape, get old, or release harmful substances. This resistance matches the disinfection adaptability of Medical Vial Cap Seals and other reusable medical seals.
5)Strong Adhesion:The overmolding layer and the metal components must stick tightly together. After being used for a long time, being hit by external forces, and being in different complex environments, the overmolding layer can’t separate from the metal components. This reliable adhesion is crucial. It helps keep the structural integrity of Silicone Medical Components and makes sure their functions stay stable for a long time.
