Micro suction cup/silicone suction cups/medical suction cups

A Micro suction cup for a medical device should be developed for the specific interface and intended function of that device. The contact surface, attachment and operating conditions determine the appropriate profile. A small silicone cup does not establish clinical suitability or a particular suction performance by shape alone.

Select the formulation for the device's relevant contact, cleaning and processing requirements. The finished product needs assessment for its intended use, including the behavior of any connected vacuum arrangement.

Evaluate the cup with the actual mating surface and mounting features. Check that the rim remains undistorted after assembly and that nearby components do not obstruct the intended contact or release. During service, use the process established for the finished device and inspect the cup for particles, cuts or permanent deformation. Keep replacement configurations identified by the developed material and geometry rather than appearance alone. A change in the receiving surface or attachment should prompt reassessment of the complete interface.

Material options

Custom silicone compound; formulation and geometry developed together.

Hardness selection

Silicone options: 20–80 Shore A. Check that the rim remains undistorted after assembly and that nearby components do not obstruct the intended contact or release.

Custom geometry

Evaluate the cup with the actual mating surface and mounting features.

Fit evaluation

A change in the receiving surface or attachment should prompt reassessment of the complete interface.

Color & OEM

Custom colors; OEM markings outside the suction contact face.

Photos illustrate structure or material appearance only. The contact surface, attachment and operating conditions determine the appropriate profile. ETOL directly manufactures custom-shaped silicone and rubber parts to your requirements.
