In recent years, with the continuous improvement and perfection of the production process of silicone leather, the finished product has attracted more and more attention. In addition to traditional industries, it can also be seen in the medical industry. So what is the reason why silicone leather has attracted so much attention in the medical industry?
As we all know, medical leather has the following characteristics due to its special use environment: good breathability, easy cleaning, antibacterial and mildew-proof, acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance and scratch resistance. As for the seats in the waiting area of the hospital, they are quite different from those in public places. The seats in the waiting area are likely to be exposed to a large number of bacteria, viruses and medical waste. High-frequency medical disinfection places extremely high demands on the durability and cleanability of the material. Conventional leather and artificial leather have certain safety hazards in this regard. Because a certain amount of harmful chemical reagents will be added to traditional leather during the production process. In addition, the cost of traditional leather is relatively high. Although artificial leather and synthetic leather are of lower cost, the material itself cannot withstand long-term and high-frequency medical disinfection. The large amount of chemical materials added during the production process will also cause the odor to affect the air environment of the waiting area.

Compared with traditional leather, it is a new type of environmentally friendly zero-pollution synthetic leather material. Although it is slightly weaker in terms of breathability, it is slightly better in terms of cleaning, acid and alkali resistance, scratch resistance, wear resistance, antibacterial and mildew resistance, environmental protection, price, etc. Therefore, it is widely used in many aspects of wall decoration, office supplies, medical equipment, etc. in the medical industry.

Nowadays, many hospitals' waiting area seats are silicone leather seats, because the seats in the hospital waiting area are different from those in other public places. There is a large possibility of contact with bacteria and viruses in the hospital waiting area, and the staff needs to disinfect frequently. Most leathers cannot withstand high-frequency cleaning and disinfection with alcohol or disinfectant.
However, silicone leather can withstand alcohol disinfection, and silicone leather has strong anti-fouling properties. If it is ordinary stains, it can be wiped clean with ordinary clean water. If you encounter stubborn stains, you can also use alcohol and disinfectant, which will not damage the silicone leather. In addition, silicone leather is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, so hospitals are more willing to use seats made of silicone leather.
The comfort of the chairs in the hospital waiting area is very important. The backrest must conform to the human body curve to avoid unnatural compression of the lumbar curve when sitting, which will affect the health of the body. The backrest must be equipped with an ergonomic lumbar cushion so that the natural curve of the lumbar spine can be kept appropriately when sitting, so as to obtain a more comfortable and healthy posture. The softness and skin-friendliness of silicone leather can also significantly improve the comfort of the seat. At the same time, silicone leather also has better safety and environmental protection.
Why is silicone leather safer and more environmentally friendly? Because silicone leather does not add any plasticizers and solvents, and the entire production process does not pollute water or emit exhaust gas, so its safety and environmental protection are higher than other leathers. In addition, silicone leather has been certified for environmental protection and is not afraid of high temperatures, closed, and airtight environments.

Standards for medical leather
Standards for medical leather mainly include requirements for its physical properties, chemical properties, biocompatibility and environmental protection.
Physical performance requirements for medical leather
Tear performance: Medical leather needs to have good tear performance to ensure that it is not easily damaged during use. For specific standards, please refer to "QB/T2711-2005 Determination of tear force of leather physical and mechanical tests: bilateral tearing method".
Thickness: Leather thickness is an important parameter to characterize its mechanical and physical properties, and is measured by the "QB/T2709-2005 Determination of thickness of leather physical and mechanical tests" standard.
Folding resistance: Medical leather needs to have good folding resistance to resist wear and folding in daily use.
Wear resistance: Medical leather needs to have good wear resistance to cope with high-frequency cleaning and disinfection processes.
Chemical performance requirements for medical leather
Acid and alkali resistance: Medical leather needs to be able to withstand the corrosion of various disinfectants, such as 75% ethanol, chlorine-containing disinfectants, etc.
Solvent resistance: Medical leather needs to be able to withstand the erosion of various solvents and maintain the stability and durability of the material.
Anti-mildew and antibacterial: Medical leather needs to have anti-mildew and antibacterial properties to reduce the growth of bacteria and viruses.
Biocompatibility requirements for medical leather
Low cytotoxicity: Medical leather needs to have low cytotoxicity and will not cause harm to the human body.
Good biocompatibility: Medical leather needs to be compatible with human tissue and will not cause rejection reactions.
Environmental protection requirements for medical leather
Environmentally friendly materials: Medical leather needs to use environmentally friendly materials and does not contain harmful substances such as aniline dyes, chromium salts, etc.
Easy to clean: Medical leather needs to be easy to clean to reduce pollution and bacterial growth.
Anti-mildew and antibacterial: Medical leather needs to have anti-mildew and antibacterial properties to keep the environment clean and hygienic.
