The FaceFormer is an approved medical device and the training device specially developed for FaceFormer therapy.
The shape and material of the FaceFormer are precisely matched to the forces acting upon it. They are the result of scientifically controlled adjustments made on a large number of patients.
Outstanding Properties
The FaceFormer is made from a modern silicone elastomer using an elaborate manufacturing process. Owing to its special properties, the material is particularly suitable for medical technology applications. The chemically inactive material is highly biocompatible and very well tolerated. This is why it is widely used in medicine, including for long-term applications inside the human body.
Excellent Material Quality
Thanks to its special quality, the high-grade silicone elastomer of the FaceFormer meets the high requirements placed on medical applications.
The material is highly flexible, elastic and durable. It fits comfortably and ensures a high level of wearing comfort when using the FaceFormer. At the same time, the material is extremely tear-resistant and withstands the high mechanical forces acting on the FaceFormer during training.
Silicone in Medicine
In medical technology, silicone elastomers are the material of choice for countless applications in medicine and biotechnology. Their advantages: silicone products are elastic and flexible, biochemically inert and highly biocompatible. Silicone products are gentle on skin and tissue. According to current knowledge, they are non-allergenic and do not trigger overreactions of the immune system.
The material is naturally resistant to germs. Due to their high heat resistance, silicone products can also be easily sterilised and autoclaved. In addition, silicone elastomers are barely permeable to gases. Well-known medical applications include drainage tubes and catheters, bellows and seals in medical equipment.
High Quality – Free from Harmful Substances
The FaceFormer is free from latex, bisphenol A (BPA) and plasticisers (phthalates, DEHP). During the manufacturing process, volatile substances are carefully removed in a tempering process lasting several hours.
Made in Germany
To ensure consistently high product quality, the FaceFormer is manufactured exclusively in Germany.
Requirements and Standards
The silicone elastomer used in manufacturing has been officially tested and approved. It meets all the requirements and standards of:
