• Silicone is durable enough to tolerate repeated autoclaving and cleaning/disinfecting, as well as daSilicone offers excellent flexibility and elongation characteristics. This makes it the perfect jacketing material for cables that must be manipulated and maneuvered during surgical procedures.

Cable assemblies on electronic medical devices and equipment must be sterilized in an autoclave after every procedure, and additionally require frequent cleaning and scrubbing. To protect these cables against the rigors of autoclaving, cleaning, and general daily use, they are usually jacketed in silicone. Silicone Cable Jacketing Northwest Rubber Extruders can provide silicone jacketed cable that matches your unique requirements. Provide us with the wires or cable bundles for your device(s) and your jacketing specifications—thickness, durometer, color, etc.—and we’ll take it from there. We feed the cable(s) through a special cross-head system as the silicone is extruded. The material fully surrounds the cable, and is applied under pressure to ensure proper bonding with and conformity to the cable or cable bundle. This full-encapsulation process ensures reliable protection. We use premium materials and proven manufacturing processes to guarantee superior quality and durability. We are ISO 9001, AS 9100, and ISOTS 16949 registered for quality assurance. Request a quote on silicone jacketed cable for your medical device(s), or contact Northwest Rubber Extruders to learn more.
