EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J., April 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Elkem Silicones will feature its expanded range of medical implant grade Silbione® Biomedical silicone products including high purity gels, dispersions, liquid silicone rubber (LSR), high consistency rubber (HCR) and adhesives at the upcoming Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West expo in Anaheim, Calif., April 12 to 14.

"Elkem continues to invest in silicone solutions for implantable medical device manufacturers, empowering them with the choice of a fully integrated implant grade silicone supplier, committed to transparent partnership and development for the long term," says Mike Goglia, market manager, Healthcare Americas.

"We are not only focused on providing proven solutions that have been used for decades, but also innovations that enable advancements in the standards of patient care," says Goglia. Elkem's tin-free, implant grade single component silicone adhesive, Silbione® Biomedical ADH1 M200, is the only tin-free product of its kind available on the market and offers faster cure than traditional adhesives, requiring no heat or humidity chamber for cure for easy processability and improved productivity. This tin-free adhesive is ideal for assembling medical devices that require high strength bonding to substrates such as silicone, polyester, metals, and polyurethane.

Silbione® Biomedical brand silicone products are produced in an ISO certified controlled environment under an enhanced quality management system in York, South Carolina, USA. All Silbione® Biomedical brand products are backed by worldwide regulatory support, including Master Access Files (MAF) on file with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and, most recently, Elkem successfully filed its first MAF for the Silbione® Biomedical HCRA M500 series with the Medical Device Evaluation Center of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).
