I. Pain Points in Medical Industry Lubrication

Medical devices generally include precision motion structures, electrical contacts, sealing components, transmission bearings, and more, and must repeatedly undergo ethylene oxide, gamma radiation, and high-temperature steam sterilization. Because these devices directly or indirectly contact the human body, lubricants must not only deliver low volatility, no oil separation, high aging resistance, and controlled damping, but also pass strict biocompatibility testing. Relying on ISO 13485 production systems, ISO 10993 biosafety certification, and sterilization resistance testing, the full FUCHS NYEMED^® product line meets medical industry compliance standards and can be safely used in various medical devices.

II. FUCHS NYEMED^® Full Product Line and Corresponding Lubrication Scenarios

FUCHS NYE medical device lubricating greases and FUCHS NYE medical-grade lubricating oils precisely match the core components of medical equipment, covering full scenarios such as drug delivery, diagnostic instruments, surgical equipment, electronic components, and transmission structures.

1. Silicone Series: Motion Control, Damping Buffering, and Elastomer Lubrication

Silicone products feature a high flash point, a wide temperature range, and excellent compatibility with plastics and rubber, making them the main products for medical damping mechanisms and micro-motion parts.

• NYEMED^® 7325: UV (ultraviolet) dyed silicone-based grease with zero oil separation, low volatility, and a stable viscosity range. It is mainly used for lubrication of the regular moving parts of various handheld diagnostic devices and small equipment. Its UV dye design facilitates production inspection while also providing basic motion control to prevent component slipping and noise.

• NYEMED^® 7328: a dedicated silicone damping gel with higher viscosity and more pronounced damping performance, mainly used in drug delivery devices and widely applied in products such as injection pens, auto-injectors, and infusion devices. It can absorb the energy released instantly by springs, smoothly control plunger advancement speed, make medication delivery gradual and smooth, improve the patient experience, and precisely control the rhythm of mechanical actions.

• NYEMED^® 7605: a low-viscosity FUCHS NYE medical-grade lubricating oil with strong fluidity, specially designed for elastomers and plastic materials. It is often used for lubrication of device O-rings, sealing gaps, and micro thin-wall components, and is less likely to cause rubber hardening or plastic swelling, effectively extending the service life and sealing performance of sealing components.

2. Synthetic Hydrocarbon Series: Sealing, Contact Protection, and High-Speed Transmission Lubrication

Synthetic hydrocarbons offer balanced overall performance, covering three major directions: damping sealing, electronic protection, and wear-resistant anti-corrosion, making them suitable for key structures such as transmission systems, circuits, and sealing parts in medical devices.

• NYEMED^® 7364: a high-viscosity damping grease that combines lubrication, damping, and temporary sealing functions. It is suitable for gap sealing and motion control in large diagnostic equipment and fixed instruments, helping block dust, moisture, and medicinal liquids from entering the device interior, delivering both motion control and environmental protection.

• NYEMED^® 7560: a grease specially designed for electrical contacts, primarily used in internal connectors, micro switches, and electrical contacts of medical equipment. It reduces insertion and plugging resistance, resists sterilization gases, corrosive reagents, and moisture, prevents oxidation and poor contact at the contacts, and ensures long-term stable operation of the circuitry in smart medical devices.

• NYEMED^® 7630: a high-temperature, wear-resistant grease suitable for gear motors, gearboxes, lead screws, and linear sliding components. Under high-speed and high-temperature operating conditions, it continuously forms a stable oil film, reduces metal wear, suppresses rust, and lowers operating noise, making it commonly used in transmission structures of electric surgical equipment and automated medical machinery.

3. Perfluoropolyether Series: Lubrication for Highly Inert Specialty Conditions

This category offers chemically stable, non-flammable products that resist various disinfectants and medicinal-liquid corrosion, designed for special medical scenarios with high corrosion resistance and high cleanliness requirements.

• NYEMED^® 7471: an inert FUCHS NYE medical-grade lubricating oil with extremely low volatility and extremely low solubility in various medical reagents and medicinal liquids. It is suitable for precision micro-components that directly contact drugs and cleaning fluids, and it is unlikely to degrade or precipitate during long-term use.

• NYEMED^® 7571: a perfluorinated grease that can lubricate both plastics and metal substrates, and can also be used for electrical contacts and connectors in high-end equipment. It is suitable for high-end diagnostic devices and laboratory medical instruments with complex operating conditions and diverse media.

4. Polyol Ester Series: Dedicated Lubrication for Precision Bearings

NYEMED^® 7492 is a UV dyed polyol ester grease with excellent performance in high-speed metal-on-metal friction. It is a dedicated product for precision rolling bearings and high-speed shafts in medical devices. Widely used in surgical tools, high-speed diagnostic instruments, and bearing components of automated medical robots, it continuously reduces wear and ensures long-term continuous operation of equipment.
