There are many potential applications identified which could make the nano-silicon drug delivery platform an essential part of the medical device. These applications include nanotechnology for drug delivery, sensors for real-time monitoring, solid probes for gene therapy, as well as non-solid approaches.

Medical grade silicone is utilized in clinical applications as the material is tried for biocompatibility. The material is skin-contact protected, strong, and adaptable. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directs clinical gadgets embedded in the human body.

Vitreous tamponades are used to provide surface tension across retinal breaks, which prevents further fluid flow into the subretinal space until the retinopexy provides a permanent seal. Gases and silicone oils are the most commonly used classes of tamponade agents. Silicone oils are permanent and remain in the eye until surgically removed.

Microspheres materials have long been used as drug carriers in clinical trials. The physical size of microspheres is usually in the micrometer range. Microspheres mainly are formed of biodegradable polymers but there are other materials also used as microspheres like carbon black, cobalt oxide, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, zinc oxide, and boron oxide.

Basalt fiber is a relatively new material designed for use in fiberboards. Basalt is a silicate mineral found in nature, with the chemical composition SiO2 (silicon dioxide) and iron (commonly known as oxygen). Currently, Basalt Fiber is primarily used for the application of reinforced composites.

The dermal regeneration template is a two-layered skin regeneration progressed framework. The external layer of dermal regeneration template is made of slim silicone film which goes about as the epidermis of the skin and helps in shielding the injury from contamination and controls in loss of both warmth and dampness. The external collagen Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) warm layer capacities as a biodegradable template that advance regeneration of dermal tissue neodermis by the body.
