A silicone needle cover is a type of protective cover used to cover the sharp tip of a needle. It is typically made of silicone material, which is a durable, flexible, and biocompatible material commonly used in medical applications.
Silicone needle covers can help prevent needlestick injuries and protect the needle from contamination before and after use. They can be easily placed over the sharp tip of the needle and securely fastened to ensure that the needle is protected from accidental contact or exposure.
Silicone needle covers are commonly used in healthcare settings, but may also be used in other industries where needles are used, such as in research or industrial settings. The use of silicone needle covers is an important safety measure to protect healthcare workers and others from the potential hazards associated with needlestick injuries.
Silicone rubber is an elastomer composed of silicone(present in silica) together with carbon,oxygen and hydrogen.
IN 1930, JAMES FRANKLIN HYDE RAN THE FIRST RESEARCH TO PRODUCE COMMERCIAL SILICONES.
Silicon is an element which is present in silica (sand) while silicone rubber is manufactured by
extracting silicon from silica and passing it through hydrocarbons. It's then mixed with the
other chemicals to create silicone.
A silicone or polysiloxane is a polymer made up of siloxane (−R2Si−O−SiR2−, where R = organic
group).
