We can engineer and manufacture liquid silicone molded components and assembiles, inlcuding over-molding of a new generation of bondable liquid silicone rubber (Bondable LSR) directly to plastic and metal parts. Bondable LSRs, in combination with our precision tooling and process know how, can help you achieve product design features never before possible. Some of those design features include:
- Autoclavable, ergonomic, and soft-touch grips on stainless steel surgical instruments
- High performance integral seals and gaskets, bonded to either metal or plastic parts, to waterproof complex geometries or electronic interconnects
- High performance integral membranes, diaphragms, valves, and switch covers
- Integral soft surfaces to minimize patient tissue trauma
- Integral shock protection, vibration protection, and sound dampening
The combined benefits of over-molding bondable LSR include:
- Enhanced product features via a permanent bond between the silicone and plastic and/or metal parts
- Reduced manufacturing complexity, testing, and nonconformance through part consolidation
- Improved product reliability by eliminating assembly variability
- Simplified supply chain and inventory management through part consolidation
