Seals meet medical demands

Today’s advanced medical procedures and treatments have placed rigorous requirements on medical equipment and devices. Seals and other parts in medical products are now exposed to a wider range of chemical and temperature environments than ever before. From simple seals to complex parts, Apple Rubber Products, Lancaster, NY, is using sophisticated technologies and processes – including LSR capabilities – to manufacture components for applications such as seals for medical appliances, medical pump seals, IV components, feeding devices, implant materials, and O-rings for dialysers. The company has a range of silicone parts and seals with resistance to UV light, ozone and weather; hydrophobic properties; wide temperature range (-94° to 400°F); dimensional stability in adverse conditions; and resistance to long-term compression set.
