Health & Baby Care

Health is a high priority in our lives. That’s why the requirements for materials used to promote healing, support the body or even replace body parts are very stringent. High-purity silicones fulfill these requirements, which makes them indispensable in medicine. Their exceptional properties make them ideal for highly sensitive health care and baby care applications.

  • SILPURAN® silicone elastomers and adhesive gels contain only precisely-defined ingredients, such as siloxanes, silica and crosslinkers/catalysts. In addition, they do not contain phthalates or other organic plasticizers, latex, plant proteins, organic stabilizers or materials of animal origin. This minimizes potential allergic reactions.
  • Our SILPURAN® silicone elastomers and silicone gels have successfully undergone sensitization tests according to ISO 10993 and show no adverse effects on the skin.
  • Silicones are usually easy to sterilize. A number of methods are available, such as sterilization with steam, electron beams and γ-rays or ethylene oxide, all of which – with very slight variations – yield the same properties. Ideally, these processes do not influence the product properties.
  • Silicone gels are the exception since they cannot be sterilized with electron beams and γ-rays.
  • Our SILPURAN® silicone elastomers and silicone adhesive gels were successfully tested for biocompatibility using selected USP Class VI and ISO 10993 tests. (ISO 10993: cytotoxicity, sensitization, pyrogenicity; USP<88>: systemic toxicity, intracutaneous toxicity, and implantation for five days).
  • FDA-listed medical device master files (MAFs) are available for many products to simplify registration.
