Can PU Film Coated with Silicone Gel Be Used To Make Medical Devices?

PU (polyurethane) film-coated silicone gel can be a suitable option in the fabrication of some medical devices, depending on the type of medical device required, performance requirements and regulatory standards. Here are some common medical device applications where PU film coated silicone gel may be suitable examples:

1,Medical breast augmentation prosthesis: Medical breast augmentation prosthesis is usually made of PU film, and coating with silicone gel can enhance its durability and softness, making it more suitable for surgical purposes.

2,Catheters and Catheter Accessories: Some medical catheters and accessories can benefit from a PU membrane coated with silicone gel to provide better glide, softness and lubrication inside the catheter.

3,Surgical gloves: Medical gloves usually use PU film as the base material. Coating with silicone gel can improve the comfort and flexibility of the gloves and reduce the hand fatigue of the surgeon.

4,Medical dressing materials: PU films coated with silicone gel can be used in medical dressing materials to provide waterproofing, antibacterial and softness.

5,Medical gaskets and pads: Medical gaskets and pads can use PU film as the outer layer, coated with silicone gel to provide extra comfort and waterproofing.

6,Medical Dressings: Some medical dressings can contain PU membrane coated silicone gel to provide wound protection and promote healing.
