Medical Grade Silicone: USP Class VI, ISO 10993 & FDA Compliant
Medical Grade Silicone: USP Class VI, ISO 10993 & FDA Compliant
Medical grade silicone from ElastaPro is a high-purity elastomer engineered for mission-critical sealing, gasketing, and fluid management in medical devices. Manufactured in the USA, our medical silicones meet the most stringent global standards, including USP Class VI, ISO 10993, and FDA 21 CFR 177.2600.
We supply medical silicone as solid sheets, continuous rolls, and uncured compounds, providing fabricators with the consistent, biocompatible material required for high-reliability healthcare applications.
Why Choose Platinum-Cured Medical Silicone?
At ElastaPro, our medical silicone sheeting is primarily platinum-cured. Unlike peroxide-curing, platinum-cured systems offer significant advantages for the healthcare industry:
-
Minimized Extractables: Essential for applications involving contact with blood, skin, or biological fluids.
-
No Peroxide By-products: Eliminates the risk of “blooming” or residue that can interfere with sensitive medical diagnostics.
-
Superior Clarity: Translucent grades offer excellent visibility for fluid paths and tubing components.
-
High Tear Strength: Maintains mechanical integrity during repeated sterilization cycles.
The diagram below compares the structure of platinum-cured silicone with peroxide-cured silicone.
