Idea Description

through a freezing process, a special type of silicone polymer has been developed that when not submitted to an aqueous environment (in a stored state) remains dry & optimally clean. when submitted to an aqueous environment, it absorbs @ 30% of its volume(negligible being a thin layer)& by trapping this moisture it remains supple & thus prevents the sticking of the device it would envolve, without then the need for lubricants that would have the potential for cross contamination, patient irritability, etc.
