Using Clean Silicone to

Create

Today’s Medical Magic

Silicone often fades into the background in medical

environments. The general public hears about silicone

medical uses and immediately starts envisioning breast

implants instead of all the amazing uses for silicone.

Have you stopped to think about all the places clean silicone is used today?

With the continuing advances in silicone molding, and the low rejection rates for silicone in patients it

has become one of the most common substances in surgical procedures today. During facial

reconstructive surgery silicone spacers are used. Without these important aids in the surgical procedure

today’s intricate surgeries may not

have been possible.

Silicone medical devices for the treatment of erectile dysfunction have become common. They are

highly effective in situations where pharmaceutical options do not work. Without this advancement in

medical implants the quality life for men suffering from urological disorders, and other causes for ED

would be decreased. Their options would be very limited.

The Orthopedic Surgeon’s

Cushion of Choice

The intricate surgeries commonly done today to replace worn out cartilage with clean silicone is nothing

short of miraculous. The pain and loss of movement patients suffered through in the past has been

overcome.

Cartilage replacements using silicone molding for the hands, feet, hips, knees, and elbows

are now common.

The Importance of Ultra-Clean Silicone Molding Processes

The manufacturing processes required to produce silicone medical

equipment and implants should not be ignored. It may be greatly

removed from the surgical arena, but without sterile, ultra-clean

manufacturing processes patients would be at a greater risk of infection

and rejection of implants.

FMI Incorporated exhibits the conditions required to produce high quality

silicone products while maintaining this high level of cleanliness. Their processes have met the ISO

Class 5 Clean room standards. They have implemented a quality system which has attained an ISO 9001

certification, an impressive achievement in quality standards.

In order to avoid cross contamination of materials in their manufacturing processes FMI uses two

separate roll mills. While you may be able to get away with proper cleaning procedures while switching

between peroxide and platinum cure processes, FMI chooses to make sure they eliminate all risk.

Engineering on the Cutting Edge of Medical Science

FMI Engineers are highly specialized professionals. They work with Doctors and Medical manufacturers

to perfect the processes for building advanced medical parts and implants using

medical silicone

rubber.

They use their expertise in injection molding to create precise parts which meet the exacting standards

required in the medical arena. One of the intriguing capabilities of the FMI engineering team is their

Rapid Development Program. When an idea is ready to meet the real world and be created out of clean

silicone, the engineers can often be producing prototypes in as little as 2 weeks.

When you need to find parts made from

clean silicone

, medical silicone rubber implants, or

silicone

molding

which meet precise standards FMI is the leader.
