There are many diverse types of materials that can be used in injection molding medical devices. Some useful and commonly used materials include:

Medical device injection molding also has many other advantages, such as compliance with industry standards and regulations. Engineering-grade plastics can be used in the process to create parts that enhance patient safety and comply with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) guidelines. There is flexibility with injection molding, as the parts can be fully customizable to fit the user. The ability to fulfill high-volume orders with high accuracy and precision is also an advantage of injection molding medical devices. In addition, injection molding is a cost-effective manufacturing method. With automation technology and energy-efficient equipment, we further reduce our labor and utility costs.

Injection molding is a method to obtain molded products by injecting plastic materials molten by heat into a mold, and then cooling and solidifying them. The method is used for mass production of products with complicated shapes and plays a large part in plastic processing. Injection molding for medical devices can be performed by using many sorts of materials such as metals, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers.

Plastic injection molding is widely used in the medical device industry. Plastics are often used alongside the injection molding process to produce prototypes and full-production units of medical devices and equipment components. As newer plastic materials and component designs are developed, injection molding medical devices has increasingly contributed to lower infectious disease rates, and lower medical costs.

Gilero provides a range of manufacturing services, including plastic injection molding and injection mold tool building. We focus solely on the medical device and drug delivery markets. Our medical injection molding facilities follow strict design protocols and process controls to ensure that all products meet the required specifications. Depending on client needs and product requirements, we can offer manual or fully automated production lines for molding and assembly.
