> INTRODUCTION WHAT IS SILICONE?

>

> Silicones are a family of chemical compounds. They

> are made from

> silicon, a naturally occurring element found in

> sand, quartz, and

> rock. Next to oxygen, silicon is the most common

> element in the

> earth's crust, and becomes silicone when it is

> combined with oxygen,

> carbon, and hydrogen. Depending on the arrangement

> of the molecules,

> silicones can be manufactured in a variety of forms,

> including oils,

> gels, and solids.1

>

> CONSUMER AND MEDICAL PRODUCTS

>

> Silicones have been part of the consumer industry

> for over 50 years.

> Because they can be manufactured in various ways,

> silicones appear in

> a wide variety of

>

> products that most of us use everyday. Hairsprays,

> suntan lotions, and

> moisturizing creams are just some of the consumer

> products that

> contain one form of silicone called dimethicone. The

> applications of

> silicone, whether used as an oil, gel, or solid, are

> equally extensive

> in the medical field. For example, the lubricating

> qualities of

> silicones make them ideal for coating surgical

> needles and suture

> thread, as well as the inside of syringes and

> bottles used for the

> storage of blood and intravenous medicines.

> Protective silicone

> coatings have also been used in pacemakers and heart

> valves. Other

> medical devices utilizing silicones include:

> artificial joints,

> catheters, drainage systems, facial implants, tissue

> expanders, and

> breast implants. Silicone products have been shown

> to be

> biocompatible, reliable, flexible, and easy to

> sterilize, making them

> an ideal choice for both implantable and

> non-implantable medical

> devices.
