Unlock Precision: Custom Compounding for Medical Tubing

Formulated for the Demands of Medical and Diagnostic Applications

Standard materials often fall short when used in medical devices and diagnostic components that require precision and consistency. In applications like catheter shafts, diagnostic fluid lines, and wearable systems, performance depends on tight control over material properties such as durometer, modulus, and surface behavior.

Saint-Gobain Medical develops custom silicone and thermoplastic formulations with tolerances that exceed those of generic compounds. Our silicone materials can achieve durometer control within ±2.5 Shore A and modulus within ±20 psi. These precise specifications support reliable extrusion, dimensional stability, and consistent behavior in clinical environments.

Each formulation is developed in coordination with application engineers to meet end-use, regulatory, and processing requirements. From sterilization compatibility to bonding performance and pigmentation, our materials are engineered for confidence in both function and manufacturability.
