Plasma technology for medical-grade silicone
Plasma technology for medical-grade silicone
Plasma IONSILK is an advanced plasma surface treatment engineered to enhance the performance of medical-grade silicone. By permanently modifying the outermost surface at the molecular level, IONSILK transforms conventional silicone into a high-performance, patient-friendly material that glides effortlessly across tissue and instruments.
This advanced technology creates a durable, ultra-thin barrier that reduces surface tackiness and friction, delivering a smoother, silk-like feel. It achieves this tactile transformation while preserving the core flexibility, transparency, and biocompatibility of the underlying substrate.
The result is a new standard in clinical efficiency: enhanced patient comfort, improved insertion and resistance to biofouling and fluid adhesion. Ideal for catheters, implants, wearable devices, and other silicone-based components.
