New silicone product row for medical applications

That Munich chemical concern UPRIGHT ONE supplements its selection of silicone products around its own product series for medical applications. The new product row, which is marketed since short under the name SILPURAN�, is characterised by particularly high purity, a characteristic profile co-ordinated particularly for medical applications and by a biocompatibility demanded in many operational areas. The application scope extends from orthopedic and prothetischen products over seals for one-way syringes and dialysis devices, medical hoses for artificial respiration and plugs for injection bottles, anaesthesia masks and catheter bellows up to gels for the coating of Wundauflagen. With the introduction on the market of SILPURAN� silicones UPRIGHT ONE positions itself as development partner for innovative and reliable solutions in Medizinbranche.Die SILPURAN� pallet covers silicone types with most different characteristic profiles. A characteristic particularly interesting for the medicine industry offers for example SILPURAN� 6600. It acts thereby around a liquid silicone rubber which exhibits a very low coefficient of friction in vulcanized form also without the employment of out-sweating liquids and oils. The small Oberfl�chenreibung facilitates for the processing plant the assembly complex Medizinger�te.Dem ever more strongly becoming costing and safety aspect in the medicine industry becomes the responsible special silicones as for example SILPURAN� 6700 and SILPURAN� 6701 fairly. They permit � also without the additional employment of adhesion mediators � a safe connection with thermoplastic materials like for example Polybutylenterephthalat (PBT) or polycarbonate. This makes again a fully automatic and cost-saving production possible of medical compound parts in the two-component injection moulding. As coating of plasters and Wundauflagen scores SILPURAN� by a high breathing activity, which can be led back on the good oxygen and Dampfdurchl�ssigkeit of the material. The wound is protected at the same time effectively before external influences such as water and bacteria. Wundauflagen on the basis of SILPURAN� permit besides an easy and atraumatisches taking off the edition of the wound, whereby the healing process actively supported wird.SILPURAN� � a new mark for medical manufactured application due to the rising purity requirements a multiplicity of medical products today already in pure areas. Since any pollution of the assigned materials can have serious consequences with the patient, it is indispensable that also the used raw materials correspond to highest purity standards. MORE UPRIGHT it guarantees with its SILPURAN� silicones by special production and packing measures that these requirements are fulfilled. During the production for example a filtration clearly finer in the comparison to the conventional production process provides for an extremely high product purity. All SILPURAN� fixed silicone india rubbers are submitted in the pure area of optical control and packed antistatically. Similar measures ensure also for liquid silicone india rubbers and/or for ambient temperature-interlacing silicone india rubbers of the SILPURAN� series a high measure of security for the processing plant and final user silicones of the mark SILPURAN� are freely from organic softeners, radiation steady and can problem-free, e.g. with superheated steam, be sterilized. All products fulfill besides the editions at product security and biocompatibility, necessary within the field of the medicine, and it are in accordance with ISO 10993 as well as the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) of the class VI examined.
