Silicone inflatable airbag is a flexible container that can be inflated or deflated. It is made of medical or industrial grade silicone material. It has the characteristics of high elasticity, excellent biocompatibility, high and low temperature resistance, non-toxic and tasteless, good sealing, etc. It is widely used in medical, industrial, aviation, robotics, electronics and other fields.
Silicone inflatable airbag plays an increasingly important role in precision medicine, flexible robots, smart devices and other fields due to its excellent softness, sealing and durability. It can be a highly customized functional part or widely used as a mass-produced general part.
Common structural types: round airbags, strip/flat airbags, multi-chamber airbags, customized special-shaped airbags
Main application areas
1. Medical field
Surgical auxiliary positioning airbags
Used for positioning, opening, and isolating tissues in endoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, etc.
Rehabilitation care air cushions/air pillows
Such as limb rehabilitation support, bedsore prevention pads, providing dynamic cushioning support
Artificial organs or implanted devices
Such as artificial sphincters, uterine dilation sacs, urology control devices
2. Industrial/automation
Clamping and drive unit
The airbag can be inflated and expanded to clamp flexible workpieces or irregular objects
(common in flexible robot end effectors)
Sealed filling/support structure
Used to fill equipment gaps, cushion, and support heavy objects
Pressure relief protection airbags
Rapidly expand under extreme pressure to absorb energy and prevent impact damage to equipment
3. Consumer electronics/smart wearables
Dynamic fitting module
Can be used for VR headsets, massagers, etc., to automatically adjust the fit
Pneumatic tactile feedback
Used for tactile/push feedback units in wearable devices
4. Aviation/life-saving
Life-saving airbags/positioning pads
Can be used for head and neck protection airbags, automatic expansion support equipment, etc.
