Breakthroughs in fluorosilicone oil technology ensure the safety of medical equipment
1. Medical lubrication is facing challenges
In the medical field, surgical instruments, imaging equipment and other medical devices are confronted with challenges such as high-temperature disinfection, biocompatibility and long-lasting lubrication. Ordinary lubricants are prone to decomposition and failure when sterilized at temperatures above 121℃, and they are difficult to meet the requirements of direct or indirect contact with the human body in terms of biocompatibility. The frequent friction of precision components also requires long-term lubrication guarantees.
2. Fluorosilicone oil brings about technological innovation
The medical fluorosilicone oil developed in the industry, with the core breakthrough of "medical-grade long-lasting lubrication + ultra-high temperature resistance", has redefined the safety standards of medical equipment. Its temperature resistance range can reach -50 ℃ to 260℃, and it can easily cope with extreme environments such as high-pressure steam sterilization and dry heat disinfection. At high temperatures, its lubrication performance is stable, without precipitation or carbonization.
3. Outstanding performance advantages
Medical fluorosilicone oil features an ultra-low coefficient of friction and a stable molecular structure, which can increase the lubrication life by more than three times, reduce the frequency of equipment maintenance, and lower the operating costs of hospitals. Meanwhile, it has passed the ISO 10993 biocompatibility test, being non-toxic, non-allergenic and non-cytotoxic. It also meets the FDA and NSF food-grade certification standards and is compatible with highly sensitive instruments such as surgical robots and endoscopes.
4. The application effect is remarkable
After a certain tertiary hospital used medical fluorosilicone oil, the return rate of surgical instruments dropped by 60%, and the lubricating performance remained as good as new after high-temperature sterilization. Fluorosilicone oil can enable zero-resistance operation on precision instruments such as orthopedic drills and laparoscopic joints. In imaging equipment like CT machine slip rings and MRI moving parts, it can also significantly extend the service life of the equipment.
