Medical Silicone & Intimate Wellness Technical Glossary
Essential engineering and regulatory vocabulary for sourcing managers, distributors, and product developers.
Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)
A high-purity, platinum-catalyzed two-component silicone rubber processed via liquid injection molding. Features high tear strength, superior biocompatibility, and zero odor compared to solid compression silicone.
Shore A Durometer
The standardized scale measuring silicone hardness. Intimate novelties typically utilize 5A to 15A for ultra-soft suction tips and 30A to 45A for wand vibrators and structural shafts.
IPX7 Waterproof Standard
Ingress Protection rating confirming the device can be continuously immersed in water up to 1 meter depth for 30 minutes without harmful moisture penetration.
Touchless Aerodynamic Air-Pulse
A fluid stimulation technology creating pulsating pressure waves without direct hard friction, preventing nerve over-sensitization.
