Medical-grade manufacturing · Skin-contact parts
Skin-contact parts.
Silicone is chosen for skin contact because it's soft, stable and well documented. The manufacturing job is to keep it that way: the right grade, clean handling and a finish people are happy to wear.
The detail
Grade, cleanliness, comfort
Skin-contact parts range from wellness devices worn for minutes to medical interfaces worn for hours. The grade you need depends on the contact type and duration, and that assessment is part of your product's risk file.
Our part is to use the grade you've specified, record it batch by batch, keep parts clean from press to pack, and finish the surface to a feel that suits long wear.

Questions
What people usually ask.
Can you advise which grade to use?
We can share options and supplier data. The final suitability decision for a medical device sits with the manufacturer's risk process.
Do skin-contact parts need special tooling?
Not usually. The difference is in grade, handling and finish.

Medical device seals
Seals inside medical devices keep fluids in, contaminants out and mechanisms working. They're small parts with a lot of responsibility.
