Value of Plastic Injection Molding for the Medical Industry

Plastic injection molding can easily meet the critical requirements for parts and products used by the medical and pharmaceutical industry. These include:

Durability

Plastic parts used in the medical industry must be produced with a durability to match their intended lifespan, from products and components which will see repeated use or contain valuable medicines or compounds to single-use and disposable items.

Whether it's ensuring syringes accurately reflect the volume they contain or that parts fit or slide together smoothly, consistent, precise parts are absolutely necessary for the medical industry. Plastic injection molding is easily able to offer these valuable qualities over even the longest production runs.

Safety

From selecting resins able to perform as needed to ensuring end-user safety when using plastic parts, safety is a key factor.

Cost-Effectiveness

Plastic injection molding is one of the most efficient techniques for quickly creating large numbers of identical products. With minimal waste and lightweight products that reduce transportation costs, injection molding can be extremely cost-effective.

Strength

Some plastic parts must be exceptionally strong to perform as needed for the medical industry. Many plastic resins can perform as well or better than metal or other alternative materials, giving plastics the clear edge in manufacturing them.
