Medical grade silicones are specially produced silicones that show compatibility with living tissue. Silicones have properties such as, heat resistance, flexibility, high gas permeability low chemical reactivity, and low toxicity, which makes them an ideal choice for use in medical devices and other related products. Medical grade silicones are used in hydrocephalic shunts, topical formulations as excipients, transdermal drug delivery systems as adhesives, and antacid formulations. The use of medical grade silica in healthcare and pharmaceutical industry is the major driver for the growth of medical grade silica market. The regulatory policies in different economies and high cost are the key restraints for medical grade silicone market.
