Product Features
1. Shape Characteristics
1)Appearance Profile:The product is shaped like a short tube overall. Its structure is regular, and both ends are open. Inside it, there are annular raised patterns. These patterns can make the friction between the seal and tubes stronger. They also make the sealing performance better. This structural design matches the precision requirements of Medical Grade Silicone Seals and Sterile Medical Seals.
2)Dimensional Specifications:It’s usually small in size. Its length can be from a few millimeters to more than ten millimeters. Its inner and outer diameters are made to fit the tubes of respiratory equipment exactly. This makes sure it fits tightly after installation. This dimensional accuracy is as good as that of Medical Vial Cap Seals. It also meets the strict assembly standards of Respiratory Seals.
2. Functions
1)Sealing Tube Interfaces:It’s installed at the connection parts of respiratory equipment tubes. For example, the interface between a ventilator's air delivery tube and a patient's mask, and the interface between a respiratory humidifier and a tube. It uses its own elastic deformation to fill the gaps at the interfaces tightly.This stops gas from leaking. It makes sure the gas pressure and flow delivered by respiratory equipment stay stable. And it gives accurate respiratory support to patients. This is the core sealing function that Respiratory and Related Equipment Accessories need to fulfill.
2)Preventing Cross-Contamination:It can block external contaminants from getting into respiratory tubes effectively. Things like bacteria and dust. At the same time, it also stops microorganisms in the gas patients exhale from contaminating the inside of the equipment backward.This lowers the risk of patients getting infected. It also makes sure respiratory therapy is safe. This protective effect helps meet the hygienic requirements of Sterile Medical Seals.
3)Stabilizing Tube Connections:It makes the connections between different parts of respiratory tubes more stable. When patients move or tubes swing during use, the connection parts won’t get loose or fall off.This makes sure respiratory equipment works continuously and normally. It’s a key stability guarantee for Breathing Equipment Gaskets and Nebulizer Sealing Components systems.
3. Required Characteristics
1)Biocompatibility:It directly touches the gas patients breathe. So it must be made of materials with great biocompatibility. Like medical-grade silicone or plastic. These materials are non-toxic, have no smell, and won’t cause allergies. They also won’t irritate or harm the patient's respiratory tract. This is a basic requirement for Medical Grade Silicone Seals and all Medical Device Seals that touch the human body.
2)Excellent Sealing Performance:It has outstanding sealing performance. Within a certain range of pressure changes (like pressure going up and down when breathing) and temperature, it can keep a good airtight state. Even when used for a long time, or when there’s slight external interference, it can stop gas from leaking effectively. This sealing reliability is as good as that of high-quality Respiratory Seals.
3)Chemical Resistance:Respiratory equipment needs cleaning and disinfection. This seal can handle common disinfectants used for that. Like alcohol and chlorine-containing disinfectants. It won’t be corroded, swollen, or deformed. This makes sure it can still keep its sealing function and material performance after being disinfected many times. This is a critical property for Sterile Medical Seals to adapt to frequent disinfection cycles.
4)Flexibility and Elasticity:It has just the right amount of flexibility and elasticity. This makes it easy to install on tube interfaces. It won’t get damaged during installation. And it can fit closely with interfaces of different shapes. At the same time, even after being inserted and removed many times, or used for a long time, it can go back to its original shape. This makes sure the sealing effect lasts a long time. This elastic recovery ability is essential for Breathing Equipment Gaskets and Nebulizer Sealing Components to keep working well for a long time.
5)Low Adsorptivity:It doesn’t easily adsorb things. Like moisture, impurities in gas, or microorganisms. This stops tubes from getting blocked and microorganisms from growing. Also, it’s easy to clean. This can lower maintenance costs and save time. This low-adsorption feature matches the hygienic design principles of Medical Device Seals.
6)Precise Dimensions:It has high dimensional accuracy. The fitting tolerances between it and the tube interfaces of respiratory equipment are very small. This makes sure two bad things don’t happen after installation: first, it won’t be too loose (which would let air leak out). Second, it won’t be too tight (which would affect the normal connection of tubes and gas circulation). This precision matches the manufacturing standards of Medical Vial Cap Seals and other high-precision Medical Device Seals.
