What are the applications of silicone gel in the medical industry?

Silicone gel is widely used in the medical industry. Here are some major application examples:

Wound healing and scar management: Silicone gel can act as a barrier, covering the wound to reduce water evaporation and maintain a moist environment in the wound, which is conducive to cell growth and tissue repair. At the same time, it can also inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts and reduce excessive deposition of collagen, thereby reducing scar formation.

Treatment of skin scar hyperplasia: Silicone gel can be used to treat skin scar hyperplasia caused by burns, scalds, trauma and surgery. It can promote epithelial cell metabolism, regulate the structure and function of epithelial cells, inhibit capillary proliferation, inhibit collagen deposition, improve local blood circulation, and promote epithelial repair.

Wound dressing: Silicone gel dressing has high transparency, making it easier for doctors and patients to observe the wound healing process and detect any complications in time. At the same time, because it is soft and has a certain degree of adhesion, it can be directly attached to the skin and is easy to clean and replace.

Prosthetics and Implants: Silicone gel is also used to make prosthetics and implants, such as breast implants. These applications take advantage of silicone gel's biocompatibility and lower toxicity.

Fixation of medical devices: Highly viscous silicone gel can be used to fix medical auxiliary materials to the skin, such as fixing sensors, metering devices, ostomy bags or other medical devices.

Reduce pain and itching: Using medical silicone gel can effectively reduce the discomfort caused by newly formed scars, such as pain and itching.
