U.S. Medical Wires & Cables Market - Forecast (2022 - 2027)

Medical services require wires and cables for measurement and treatment purposes. For medical cable assemblies that must withstand a high number of steam autoclave cycles, silicone-jacketed cable and silicone over-molding of strain reliefs are typically required.

Medical tubing is one of the major applications of silicone and is used in devices such as respirators and intravenous drug. Apart from these, silicone are also used in ventilation masks, transfusion delivery systems, handles for surgical instruments, breading tubes, microphone holders for hearing aids, tube connector and many other.

Rising health concerns coupled with the increasing adoption of advanced technologies in the field of medicine for various applications have been stimulating the market revenue in the recent years. Rising infrastructure development in healthcare will allow the silicon wire and cable manufacturers to expand their penetration in the country with huge application of these wires from medical equipment to patient care. The global U.S. Medical Silicone Wires & Cables market is estimated at 609.91 million in 2017 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 4.44%.


 What are Silicone Medical Wires & Cables

Silicone is an elastomeric polymer which is composed of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen which amalgamates to form a heat resistant rubber like material with properties similar to non-reactiveness, stability and resistant to extreme environments and temperatures coupled with highly flexibility at lower temperatures. Silicone is used both as a jacket material and over-mold for cable assemblies in medical device applications because it is the most compatible in terms of sterilization, disinfection, and cleaning. Typically, the same over-molding captures the silicone jacketed cable and creates a chemical bond between over-molded strain relief and the cable jacket also enhancing sterilization withstand.

What are the major applications for Medical Wires & Cables

Most medical cable assemblies that are designed to withstand a high number of steam sterilization cycles incorporate one or more metal shell connectors and silicone-jacketed cable or coaxial cables. Over-molding silicone provides a stronger bond to metal connector components than thermoplastic resins, creating a moisture-proof mechanical bond which contributes to sterilization withstand.

Silicone cable assemblies are characterized by excellent flexibility, durability and the ability to withstand cleaning, disinfection and hundreds of steam autoclave sterilization cycles. These characteristics make silicone a logical material choice for cables used for video endoscopy, surgical power tools, electrosurgical instruments, laparoscopy, ophthalmic lasers and robotic surgery.
