MEDICAL SECTOR

We, as injection moulding manufacturers adhere to very high standards of quality, especially when it comes to producing parts for the medical industry. The plastic components created for medical devices directly impact the health and safety of users and patients alike, so material quality, traceability, and precision are vital areas of focus. To ensure these parts meet the exact specifications and tolerances required of them, we carefully consider several factors during the design phase.

A comprehensive understanding of resin properties is a must for us manufacturers when it comes to medical applications, as a plastic needs to meet the regulations set forth by the Food and Drug Administration and other national and international commissions. Whether the application calls for a temperature- and chemical-resistant plastic capable of withstanding sterilization or one with high tensile strength, there’s a plastic to meet every need in the medical field. Here are some common plastics used in the industry:

Polycarbonate: This polymer is resistant to heat and UV light. It’s a nearly transparent plastic that boasts impressive impact resistance, making it ideal for syringes and intravenous apparatuses.
Polyethylene: This plastic is ideal for prosthetics and other worn devices due to its smoothness, durability, chemical resistance, and capability of withstanding frequent sterilization.
Polypropylene: Not only does this thermoplastic have high heat resistance, but it’s resistant to gamma radiation, making it suitable for use in medical imaging devices.
