What’s the difference between medical grade silicone and FDA body approved silicone?
I understand the confusion. Medical grade silicone and FDA body-approved silicone are the same things, so the terms can be used interchangeably. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves all materials that are used for medical purposes. Medical grade silicone, which is phthalate-free, is usually grouped into three categories: non-implantable (like sexual aids), short-term implantable, and long-term implantable.
