Biomedical sector

In the biomedical industry, equipment excellence is crucial to ensuring patient safety and the effectiveness of treatments. To achieve this, reliable sealing solutions tailored to the most demanding environments are essential.

At France Joint, we provide high-quality seals designed to meet the specific requirements of medical devices.

Our seals, robust and reliable, ensure the optimal safety of your devices, whether they are medication distribution systems or surgical equipment, even under the most extreme conditions.

Choosing the right medical seal: what criteria should be considered?

To ensure optimal performance, selecting a medical seal must be based on strict criteria:

- Chemical compatibility: seals must be resistant to the chemicals used during manufacturing or sterilization. It is crucial that they do not react with these substances and prevent contamination, which could affect the quality and safety of treatments

- Thermal resistance: extreme temperatures, especially during steam sterilization cycles, require materials capable of withstanding intense heat conditions without losing their sealing properties or deteriorating

- Compliance with safety standards: USP Class VI certification is an essential criterion to ensure that seals are suitable for sensitive medical applications. This standard ensures the biocompatibility of materials in contact with medications or bodily fluids

- Durability and flexibility: seals must offer high wear resistance to withstand extreme conditions and repetitive operating cycles. They must also maintain flexibility to ensure reliable sealing over time without cracking or degrading

- Ease of installation and maintenance: to simplify the integration of seals into systems, optimized design is crucial. Careful finishing, suited for installation and maintenance, enables quicker and safer implementation while ensuring the longevity of components

USP Class VI and FDA certified products

Our seals are specifically designed to meet the strict requirements of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and USP Class VI certifications. These certifications ensure that our products have undergone rigorous testing and are suitable for critical applications where patient safety is paramount.

We select only high-performance materials such as FFKM (perfluoroelastomer) and silicone, which meet the highest safety standards. These compounds comply with the most stringent safety requirements, particularly for medical devices in direct contact with bodily fluids or medications.

Common medical applications of our sealing solutions:

Our seals are used in a wide range of medical applications where reliability is essential:

• Injection devices
• Distribution systems
• Bioreactors
• Cell culture equipment
• Medical equipment and furniture
• Surgical instruments

Expertise in materials for the medical sector

In the medical industry, the selection of materials for seals is critical. Materials like silicone and FFKM are specially chosen for their exceptional resistance to extreme sterilization conditions and low chemical reactivity.

Moreover, these materials are designed to minimize the risk of contamination from particles or gases, an essential criterion in environments requiring maximum purity, such as in drug manufacturing or surgical devices.
