PLASTIC INJECTION MOULDING IN MEDICAL INDUSTRY
Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process in the medical industry, offering numerous advantages for a variety of applications. Medical-grade plastics injection molding is used for medical devices, components, laboratory and facility equipment, and more. Among the key advantages of the injection molding process are its ability to meet the exact specifications and regulatory needs of the medical industry.
Lunar Enterprise, based in Surat, India, is an industry leading provider of medical plastic injection moulding parts and components. We help develop, prototype and manufacture parts like medical enclosures, medical knobs, surgical instruments for the medical industry.
PRECISION MEDICAL PLASTICS
Medical suppliers have found that plastic injection molding medical parts, components and devices is one of the most effective ways to attain the quality and specifications they need in a cost-effective and efficient manner. Medical device plastic injection molding is used for applications such as implantable components, beakers, test-tubes, housings and casings for medical and laboratory equipment, surgical components, drug delivery equipment, and orthopedics. The process of plastic injection molding medical parts can be applied to nearly any area where durable, sterilization-friendly parts are required at high volume and with exceptional accuracy in production.
MATERIAL SELECTION
SILICON
For components and parts where flexibility is a key requirement, silicone is often the material of choice. It offers exceptional durability and biocompatibility and is very cost-effective at high volume production runs
POLYCARBONATE
This is one of the strongest materials available, with high impact and vibration resistance. Polycarbonate is ideal for components where visibility is a benefit because it can be manufactured to be almost completely transparent. It is also highly resistant to heat and UV light.
POLYETHYLENE
With a high molecular weight, polyethylene is ideally suited for the surfaces of prosthetics and wearable devices due to its appearance, durability and relative smoothness. It is high-strength and cost-effective but cannot be sterilized via autoclave.
POLYPROPYLENE
This material is ideal for components that must be repeatedly sterilized via autoclave, thanks to its high heat resistance. It also demonstrates exceptional radiation resistance.
ABS
ABS resins have been long valued because of their durability, toughness, and aesthetic appeal. When produced using mass polymerization technology, ABS resins offer attractive advantages to medical industry customers: exceptional purity, low residual monomers, lot-to-lot consistency, and superior whiteness.
