In many medical devices and other equipment, silicone rubber has a wide range of applications in the medical field. Silicone rubber materials have good biocompatibility, including physiological inertness and non-toxicity, and are not prone to adverse reactions when in contact with human tissue. Currently, silicone rubber is mainly used in medical devices, oral materials, artificial organs, tissue substitutes, etc.

The most representative ones are medical catheters, such as gastric tubes, decompression tubes, capillary drainage tubes, abdominal drainage tubes, and urinary catheters. Silicone rubber can also be used as oral soft lining, impression material, etc. At the same time, silicone rubber can also be used as a substitute for artificial organs and tissues, such as artificial breasts, artificial ears, etc. Contact lenses, as we know them, are also made of silicone rubber.
