Silicone Test Chambers

Silicone Test Chambers

Saint-Gobain silicone test chambers are meticulously molded components specifically engineered to satisfy the rigorous demands of the ophthalmic surgical industry. These test chambers serve as an essential accessory in the configuration and validation of phacoemulsification systems before surgical procedures. Our test chambers are crafted from high-purity, 40-durometer medical-grade silicone. They fully adhere to USP <88> Class VI and Plastic Class VI biocompatibility standards.

Functional Role in Surgical Environments

The silicone test chamber is generally utilized as a component of the pre-procedure testing protocol for ophthalmic surgical systems. It is specifically engineered to evaluate and confirm the pressure integrity and performance of the handpiece within a phacoemulsification system prior to the commencement of eye surgery. By offering a stable and regulated environment for system evaluations, the test chamber contributes to ensuring patient safety and the operational effectiveness of the device.
