Medical Silicone-More Than Just for Breast Implantation but a Step forward in Science
Science continues to evolve and get better and this has been evidenced by silicone. It used to be that silicone was used for breast implants but now, science made progress and silicone is more than just for breast implants, since medical silicone is used for many purposes in the medical field. The silicone molding was utilised in surgery decades in the past and has proven itself to be a success all across the globe.
One reason why medical silicone has been effectively used as surgical implants is because the material is proven to be safe for the human body to accept without causing the body to react to or reject the material. With this fact, biomedical engineers continued studying it and have found that the material can be safe to utilize as surgical aids. Ever since medical silicone has been released, no one can deny that it can serve many purposes like for catheters and joint replacements. Medical professionals now prefer to use silicone-made catheters since they can be discarded easily. This is proof that the old material is inferior to the new one, since the latter needn’t undergo sterilization to be reused. For the new one, it simply must be discarded right away after use.
Silicone is the new favorite material that is not only famous in surgical, biomedical and medical industries, but even in electronics and industrial field also. In the field of medicine, silicone is used for knee cap replacement and hip joint implantation since it won’t cause any reaction to the human body. Silicone molding can be used for daily medical practice. In the electronics field, silicone is needed for computer parts. Even microchips can be made out of silicone as well. See, silicone is not only made for breast implants!
Today, silicone isn’t merely used to beautify oneself through breast improvement. Apart from that, it is a medical aid aiming to save the lives of millions. You can now see the different uses of silicone and appreciate how it will help people’s lives.
