Frequently Asked Questions
Medical injection molding is a specialized form of plastic injection molding used to produce components and products that comply with the requirements of the medical industry. Parts must be manufactured using biocompatible, medical-grade materials to ensure safe and reliable products that are compliant with Food and Drug Administration standards or ISO 13485, quality management for medical devices. Many medical components such as syringes and catheters require extremely tight tolerances. Requirements for contaminant-free components can necessitate production in a cleanroom environment. Manufacturers must have procedures for ensuring traceability of medical part production.
PVC injection molding describes the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to produce plastic parts. PVC is a durable, chemically resistant plastic that can be modified to have a range of hardness levels. Examples of rigid PVC use include pipes and other construction products. Flexible PVC comprises such products as soft tubing, gaskets and intravenous fluid bags.
Biocompatible materials safely contact living tissue and biological systems without creating an adverse reaction. The materials must not cause toxicity, an immune response or any type of irritation when used for medical applications. Examples of biocompatible plastics are polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyvinyl chloride. These and other biocompatible plastics withstand the various methods of sterilization. They are also resistant to bodily fluids, drugs and other chemicals that the plastics may encounter in a medical application.
The factors that contribute to the cost of an injection mold include the material selected, the complexity of the part and the number of cavities for multiple part molds. Aluminum molds, typically used for prototype or low-volume production, can cost between $5,000 to greater than $30,000 depending on the size and complexity of the mold requirement. Steel molds, used for high-volume production, can range in price from $15,000 for a simple design to over $100,000 for high-complexity designs. Steel molds trade off high cost with the benefits of high durability and a much longer lifespan.
