Medical Solutions at SiTech

SiTech is a trusted supplier of high-quality silicone components for the medical industry, offering products that meet the stringent requirements for safety, durability, and performance in healthcare environments. Our advanced Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) technology allows us to manufacture precision silicone keypads, seals, and components that are biocompatible, sterilizable, and designed for use in critical medical applications.

Biocompatible and Durable Silicone
In the medical field, materials must meet the highest standards of safety and reliability. Silicone rubber is widely recognized for its biocompatibility, making it an ideal material for use in medical devices and equipment. SiTech’s silicone components are designed to withstand the demands of medical environments, including exposure to sterilization processes, repeated use, and contact with bodily fluids. Key features include:

  • Biocompatibility: Our silicone is safe for use in devices that come into direct contact with patients.
  • Sterilization Compatibility: Silicone components can be sterilized using autoclaves, gamma radiation, and other common sterilization methods without degrading or losing functionality.
  • Chemical Resistance: Our silicone products resist the effects of harsh chemicals used in cleaning and sterilization, ensuring long-term durability.
  • Temperature Stability: Silicone components remain stable across a wide range of temperatures, from -75°F to 400°F, making them ideal for medical equipment used in various environments.

Expertise in Medical Devices: Defibrillators
SiTech has a proven track record in the development of silicone components for defibrillators. Our custom silicone keypads for defibrillators are built to endure frequent use in emergency situations, providing long-lasting reliability and precise responsiveness. With the ability to handle exposure to harsh conditions, including repeated sterilization and rough handling, our silicone keypads are trusted in life-saving equipment.

Screen Printing for Language Variations
One of the key benefits of working with SiTech is our ability to utilize screen printing for medical devices that require multiple language variations. This is particularly useful for products such as defibrillators and other patient-facing devices that are distributed globally. By using our proprietary silicone-based inks, we can apply custom graphics, symbols, and instructions in different languages, ensuring that your product is accessible to users worldwide. This capability allows manufacturers to streamline production without sacrificing localization requirements.

Applications of Silicone in the Medical Industry
SiTech’s custom silicone keypads and components are used in a wide range of medical applications, where safety and reliability are paramount:

  • Medical Devices: Durable silicone keypads and seals for devices such as defibrillators, patient monitors, diagnostic equipment, and infusion pumps.
  • Surgical Instruments: Silicone components that withstand sterilization and maintain their functionality in surgical environments.
  • Sealing Solutions: Silicone gaskets and seals that protect sensitive medical equipment from contamination and moisture.
  • Wearable Medical Devices: Soft and flexible silicone components for wearable devices that offer comfort and biocompatibility for continuous patient use.

Customizable Design Features for Medical Applications
At SiTech, we offer a variety of design and customization options to ensure your medical products meet the specific needs of healthcare environments:

  • Backlighting and Light Pipes: Enhance visibility for medical device keypads and displays, especially in low-light settings.
  • Sealing Features: Custom sealing solutions to protect sensitive medical equipment from contaminants, fluids, and bacteria.
  • Custom Shapes and Surface Finishes: Tailored to fit the exact requirements of your medical devices, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.
  • Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Installation: Ensures secure and durable bonding of silicone components to various surfaces in medical devices.
