Silicone Rubber for Medical Devices

Medical & Pharmaceutical Silicone Components

Silicone rubber is flexible in every sense of the word. Through subtle alterations of its chemistry, we bend and shape its properties to meet the demands of widely differing products. Tubing, tourniquets, chemotherapy cooling caps, liver slings, mats and inserts for surgical trays, duckbills and conical seals are just a few examples. No matter how large, small or intricate the component, we have the experience and manufacturing capabilities to produce it.

Our facilities support both cleanroom and normal shop floor operations, depending on the nature of the product, which gives us the flexibility to tailor production to your project schedule and budget.

SILICONE MOULDING

SILICONE EXTRUSION

MEDICAL TUBING

Silicone medical tube has two main advantages over other materials: it is highly flexible and
tear-resistant, and hence ideal for transporting fluids. Plus it contains no plasticisers or other additives that could leach into a drug product and cause toxicological issues.
We can manufacture medical tubing to your preferred bore size, wall thickness and tube length. We also extrude thin-walled medical tubing.

Primasil medical tube is manufactured in line with our ISO 13485 certification and the platinum-cured products are made in our ISO Class 7 (10,000) cleanroom.

THE SAINT TOURNIQUET

The SAINT – the ultimate Single-use Anti-Infection Tourniquet – has been developed to help prevent the spread of hospital-acquired infections.

While other tourniquets tend to be uncomfortable and difficult to use, the SAINT offers a special high-comfort silicone rubber formulation and an easy-secure, easy-release functionality. Its other key benefits are:
