Micro medical liquid silicone molding parts refer to small components or devices used in medical applications that are manufactured through the process of liquid silicone molding (LSM). Liquid silicone molding is a specialized manufacturing technique used to produce high-precision silicone rubber parts or components.
Here’s how the process generally works:
Mold Design: A mold is designed based on the specifications of the desired part or component.
Liquid Silicone Injection: Liquid silicone rubber is injected into the mold cavity under high pressure. The silicone material is in liquid form, allowing it to flow into intricate details of the mold.
Curing: Once the mold cavity is filled with silicone, it undergoes a curing process, usually through heat or chemical reactions. This solidifies the silicone, taking the shape of the mold.
Demolding: After curing, the solid silicone part is removed from the mold.
Micro medical liquid silicone molding parts are produced using this process but are characterized by their small size and high precision. These parts are often used in medical devices and equipment where tight tolerances and biocompatibility are critical, such as catheters, seals, gaskets, valves, and other intricate components used in medical applications. Their small size and precise manufacturing make them suitable for use in various medical devices and equipment.
