FAQs

Q1:What is the difference between medical silicone and silicone?
A:The main difference between conventional silicone and medical grade silicone is the curing system used. The conventional silicone uses the peroxide cure system, which is often referred to as a free radical cure system or a high temperature vulcanizing (HTV) system.

Q2:What is the difference between a Foley catheter and a silicone catheter?
A:100% Silicone Foley catheters work just like other types of Foley catheters. The only difference is that they are made entirely of silicone instead of latex. People who have allergies or sensitivities to latex use 100% Silicone Foley catheters.

Q3: What is a silicone catheter used for?
A: A silicone catheter is primarily used for fluid drainage or administration in medical procedures, such as urinary catheterization.

Q4: Is the silicone catheter safe for long-term use?
A: Yes, silicone catheters are made from biocompatible materials, making them safe for prolonged use.

Q5: How does lsr moulding enhance the catheter?
A: LSR moulding ensures precise manufacturing, resulting in a catheter that is both durable and flexible.

Q6: Can the silicone catheter be customized?
A: Yes, we offer customization options to meet specific medical requirements.

Q7: What are the advantages of using medical silicone?
A: Medical silicone is biocompatible, flexible, and resistant to kinking, providing optimal performance in medical devices.

Q8: How can I order silicone catheters?
A: You can place orders directly through our website or contact our sales team for assistance.

Q9: What quality control measures are in place?
