FUCHS Lubricants, one of the largest independent lubricant supplier, announces the launch of NYEMED 7312, a damping grease engineered specifically for the medical device industry. Developed in response to the growing demand for more sustainable materials, NYEMED 7312 is a non-PFAS based, silica-thickened silicone grease designed to deliver superior motion control, reliability, and biocompatibility in critical medical applications.
NYEMED 7312 is manufactured in an ISO 13485:2016 certified facility, ensuring the highest standards of quality, process control, and documentation throughout its production. This advanced lubricant is formulated to control free motion and optimize haptic feedback, improving motion control in devices and enhancing user experience and compliance. By eliminating undesirable noise and reducing assembly force, NYEMED 7312 enables quieter device operation and easier device assembly, making it ideal for use in autoinjectors and other drug delivery systems where precise motion and user comfort are paramount.
Its unique composition prevents stiction, ensuring smooth, controlled movement and enhancing both device performance and patient compliance. Engineered for versatility, NYEMED 7312 offers a wide temperature range and good moisture resistance, guaranteeing reliable performance in diverse operational environments and stable operation in humid conditions. Its broad material compatibility allows seamless integration with a variety of device substrates, while its UV-dyed formulation enables easy visual inspection during application.
The product’s biocompatibility has been tested to ISO 10993-5, -10, and -11 standards, for direct and indirect patient contact, with results demonstrating no cytotoxic potential, negligible skin irritation, and negative acute systemic toxicity. As a silica-thickened, silicone-based grease, NYEMED 7312 delivers effective damping and lubrication, with a high flash point and minimal oil separation and evaporation, ensuring long-term stability and performance.
