THE CREATION OF SILICONE: A REVOLUTIONARY MATERIAL
It all began in 1901, when Frederich Kipping, a German chemist, discovered a new type of compound known as silicone. Although it initially seemed like just another experiment in the lab, decades later, industrial companies took it to a whole new level. Silicone, with its heat resistance, flexibility, and durability, became the favorite material of the aerospace and automotive industries in the 1940s. But interestingly, someone soon realized that this material had the potential to change something much more important: medicine.
In the 1960s, doctors began seeking materials that could mimic the elasticity and softness of human tissues. Silicone proved perfect: it was non-toxic, did not react with the body, and could be molded into complex shapes. Thus began its foray into orthopedics, marking a before and after in the way prosthetics and medical devices were designed.
SILICONE IN ORTHOPEDICS: THE REVOLUTION OF MEDICAL DEVICES
Before silicone, prosthetics were rigid, uncomfortable, and aesthetically limited. They were made of materials like wood or metal, making patients feel them as a forced and nonfunctional extension of their body. When silicone came onto the scene, everything changed. The first experiments in foot prosthetics showed that it could be used to create more flexible devices that better adapted to the natural movements of the body and offered a more comfortable experience. Additionally, its soft and moldable texture allowed for the design of prosthetics with a finish that mimicked human skin, helping not only physically but also emotionally by reducing the social stigma associated with wearing prosthetics.
But the revolution did not stop there. In the 70s and 80s, silicone began to be used in orthopedic insoles. These insoles not only relieved pressure in sensitive areas of the foot but also cushioned impacts, making them popular among athletes and people with conditions like plantar fasciitis or diabetic foot. On the other hand, silicone protectors for bunions and deformities like hammer toes offered practical and non-invasive solutions to everyday problems, transforming the well-being of those who used them.
SILICONE TODAY: INNOVATION AND COMFORT
Today, silicone is everywhere in orthopedics. From advanced insoles that combine different levels of density to support and cushion, to customized prosthetics that include electronic sensors to monitor patient movement. This material has become the quality standard for medical devices thanks to its durability, ease of cleaning, and adaptability.
Moreover, its integration with modern technologies has allowed for the creation of increasingly personalized devices. For example, 3D printers are used to design silicone prosthetics perfectly tailored to the patient's needs, improving their quality of life like never before. This is the power of silicone: transforming a simple piece of material into a tool that restores movement, confidence, and comfort.
CONCLUSION: SCIENCE AT THE SERVICE OF WELL-BEING
Silicone has shown that true innovation is not always in complex materials, but in how we use what we already have to solve real problems. Every step we take with comfort, every prosthetic that transforms lives, carries a part of this incredible story. And the best part is that today you too can benefit from these advancements with products specifically designed for your well-being.
