Parker's extruded and spliced ​​ParFab profile seals play a key role in medical technology. They enable customized sealing solutions that are optimally tailored to the complex requirements of medical devices and applications.

ParFab profile seals can be manufactured to customer specifications – in standard or customized profiles, in customized sizes, and from various elastomer materials such as silicone rubber (LSR), fluorocarbon rubber (FKM), or ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM). Flexible manufacturing techniques allow for the creation of even complex profiles that ensure perfect sealing in demanding applications. The profiles can be used both as individual components and in combination with other sealing elements.

Standards and conformities:

• ISO 10993 – Biocompatibility
• USP Class VI – Requirements for materials for direct patient contact
• FDA – Approval for use in medical devices
• REACH and RoHS – Compliance regarding hazardous substances

Characteristics and benefits:

• Individual adaptation: Customized profiles for specific requirements and complex component geometries
• High sealing performance: Reliable sealing even under changing pressure and temperature conditions
• Biocompatibility and safety: Suitable materials for patient contact and sterile environments
• Sterilization resistance: Resistant to common sterilization processes such as autoclaving, ethylene oxide, or gamma radiation, even with repeated sterilization
• Chemical resistance: Resistance to aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants
• Reliability: Long service life and operational reliability in critical applications

Typical applications:

• Door and cover seals
• Ventilation devices
• Anesthesia devices
• Laboratory and diagnostic equipment

Parker's ParFab profile seals ensure safe sealing, prevent leaks, and protect sensitive medical processes from contamination. They enable precise, reliable, and customized sealing solutions that meet the demanding requirements of medical technology and contribute to the safety of patients and users.
