Pure Medical-Grade Silicone


Pure Medical-Grade Silicone Universally recognized and accepted by the medical community, silicone is consider to be the traditional top-of-the-line material for contact with the body. It is non-allergenic for most people. Silicone gels can be formulated for hardness ranging from very soft to very firm. They generally provide good shock resistance and shear force absorption. S-GELs are ideally suited for use in a wide range of medical products, including

  • orthopedic devices
  • prosthetic liners
  • wound and scar management
  • tubing and
  • catheters.

They are often used as well in cosmetic and other personal care products.

Pure, Medical-Grade Mineral-Oil Thermoplastic Elastomers


Pure, Medical-Grade Mineral-Oil Thermoplastic Elastomers These mineral oil-based visco-elastic compounds are 100% medical grade, non-allergenic and dermatologist-tested. Available in soft to medium densities, they provide the flexibility for conforming easily to bony areas of the body, such as elbows, heels, fingers and toes. The distinguishing characteristic of M-GELS is that they exude mineral oil consistently throughout their product lifetimes. They can also be formulated to “carry” and time-release other oils, vitamins and other additives. These oils and additives soften, condition and comfort skin on contact, making M-GELS very effective for moisturizing skin-care applications. M-GELS are a cost-effective alternative to most silicone gel applications, including

  • medical orthopedic products • prosthetic and orthotic products and
  • wound care. They are highly suitable for use in
  • cosmetics
  • skin-hydration delivery systems and
  • consumer health care products.

Versatile Standard Thermoplastic Elastomers


Versatile Standard Thermoplastic ElastomersT-GELS are oil-based TPE gels available in soft to firm durometers. Unlike mineral-oil based gels, T-GELS exude virtually much less oil on contact with the skin. They are formulated to absorb high shock and shear forces for high-impact applications. For practical purposes, T-GELS can be viewed as a hybrid between silicone and mineral-oil gels. They offer unique opportunities for matching the functionality of silicone at greatly reduced cost. T-GELS are ideal for use in cushioning and shock-absorption products such as

  • insoles and
  • heel cups. They also perform extremely well in uses ranging widely from
  • medical devices to
  • personal care appliances to
  • sporting good products.
