Enclosure Seals
These seals are critical to protect internal components and electronics from outside debris. OES can provide custom designed low closure force seals to meet the toughest of environments with or without grooves.
Options: Extruded & Spliced Seals, O-Rings, and Continuously Molded Seals
Internal Component Seals
Typically, Life Science devices are small. Parker can provide small precision seals to meet the tightest of tolerances. Have these seals made in our internally lubed epdms to remove any friction issues.
Options: O-Rings, Lathe Cuts, Molded Shapes
Ports/Tube Sealing
Drug delivery devices could have multiple ports or tubing. O-rings are a great option but may cause insertion force issues. O-rings also do not retain into a groove making it difficult to manufacture. A custom designed and molded shape can help alleviate the insertion force.
Options: Molded Shapes & O-Rings
EPDM, FKM & Silicone O-Rings
Parker offers a comprehensive range of EPDM, FKM, and silicone O-rings, each designed to meet diverse application needs while complying with FDA, USP <87>, and USP Class VI standards. These certified compounds ensure exceptional performance and reliability in life science applications.
ULTRA™ FFKM Perfluoroelastomer O-Rings
Parker ULTRA FFKM perfluoroelastomer materials offer unmatched performance for life sciences and medical applications. These advanced seals provide exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability, withstanding temperatures up to 608°F (320°C).
Precision Lathe Cut Gaskets
Parker's precision cut gaskets provide design flexibility and wide sealing surface for many static applications. Our rectangular geometries enable customers to easily customize seal dimensions to fit their application specific grooves.
Diamond Seals
Diamond seals provide robust sealing capabilities, ensuring leak-proof performance in critical environments. Their distinctive profile provides excellent retention, compression and resilience, making them ideal for use in medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and fluid management systems.
Extruded & Spliced Seals
Extruded and spliced custom profile seals provide advanced sealing solutions featuring a range of specialized profiles, including hollow O-rings, keyhole seals, jigsaw seals, and hexapod seals, these products ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Custom Molded Shapes
Custom molded seals offer precision and reliability for the demanding needs of life science and medical equipment. Whether for diagnostic tools, drug delivery systems, or surgical instruments, custom molded rubber seals provide unmatched durability, reliability, and efficiency, making them critical

ORD 5737: O-Ring Materials
FDA & USP Class VI O-Ring Materials
To meet the crucial sealing demands of the life sciences industry, Parker offers a broad selection of specialty elastomers. Choosing the right material is vital to safeguard patient health, prompting the FDA to establish a standard (21 CFR 177.2600) that specifies the acceptable rubber compound ingredients and extractibles based on their toxicity and carcinogenicity. Typically, for patient-contact applications, a material that meets US Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI and/or ISO 10993/3 is required.
