Medical-grade high-temperature resistant silicone oil has been successfully applied to solve the dual problems of lubrication and disinfection for medical equipment


1. Industry predicament: Medical lubrication encounters a bottleneck of "sterilization failure"
The precise operation of medical equipment has long been constrained by the performance limitations of lubricating materials. Surgical instruments, imaging equipment and other items need to undergo high-pressure steam sterilization at over 121℃ every day. Ordinary lubricants are prone to decomposition and carbonization, which not only causes the instruments to get stuck but also may produce toxic precipitates, leading to cross-infection. The lubrication life of traditional silicone grease can only last for 300 sterilization cycles. For high-frequency operating components such as high-speed dental mobile phones, the failure rate due to lubrication failure is as high as 23%, which not only increases maintenance costs but also affects the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment.


2. Technological Breakthrough: Medical-grade silicone oil has achieved dual standards of "safety and temperature resistance"
A medical fluorine-modified high-temperature resistant silicone oil has recently completed technical verification. Its core advantage lies in the balance between high-temperature stability and biological safety. This product has a temperature resistance range of -50 ℃ to 260℃. After 20,000 high-temperature sterilization cycles, the lubrication performance decline rate is still less than 5%, completely solving the pain point of traditional materials that "become ineffective upon sterilization". Meanwhile, it has passed the ISO 10993 biocompatibility test, is non-toxic and non-allergenic, and meets the FDA medical-grade standards. It can be directly used for precision instruments that come into contact with the human body.


3. Scene Implementation: Full-chain protection for the operation of medical equipment
In clinical scenarios, this silicone oil has demonstrated multi-faceted adaptability. In the bearing lubrication of the orthopedic surgical electric drill, it can withstand an instantaneous high temperature of 200℃ inside the sterilizer, and the smooth operation rate of the instrument after the operation can reach 98%. After the slip ring of the CT machine was coated, the maintenance cycle was extended from 3 months to 1 year, and the equipment failure rate decreased by 60%. After using the dental high-speed mobile phone, not only was the operating noise at 300,000 revolutions per minute reduced by 15 decibels, but the wear of the bearings was also decreased by 70%, significantly enhancing the medical experience.

4. Industrial value: Promoting the maintenance and upgrade of medical equipment
The large-scale application of this product is reshaping the maintenance model of medical equipment. Data shows that after using medical high-temperature resistant silicone oil, the average return rate of surgical instruments in medical institutions has dropped by 60%, and the annual maintenance cost of imaging equipment has decreased by more than 40%. Industry forecasts suggest that with the maturation of biocompatible silicone oil technology, the market size of silicone oil specifically designed for medical devices will expand at a compound annual growth rate of 11.5% over the next five years, accelerating the replacement of imported products.
