Earning accreditation is a rigorous process, and only a small fraction of medical injection molding companies receive the distinction.

MedAccred is a Performance Review Institute medical device industry-managed supply chain oversight program dedicated to reducing patient safety risk. It focuses on critical manufacturing processes compliance and device quality and consistency.

Medical device performance is largely dependent on the characteristics of the materials used and application needs such as strength, flexibility, transparency, biocompatibility, safety-enhancing microbe resistance, and temperature and chemical resistance. With thousands of engineered materials to choose from, it's important to work with experts in medical device injection molding.

Leveraging the experience and knowledge of medical injection molders during the design phase of complex applications can help overcome the unique challenges of medical injection molding and improve outcomes.

Portable medical devices are a mainstay in hospitals, emergency vehicles, and outpatient environments. The devices must remain accurate and functional; however, drops, bumps, and excessive vibration are inevitable as equipment is transported from place to place.Overmolding is a proven solution for shock and vibration reduction, sound dampening, electrical insulation, improved chemical/UV resistance, effective oxygen and moisture barrier protection, and color infusion.

As medical device design evolves to provide ever-improving healthcare outcomes, manufacturers are partnering with full-service, experienced custom injection molders to gain increased design freedom and process efficiencies.Partnering with Kaysun — one of the few injection molders in the country to hold MedAccred Plastics accreditation — is a consistent value-add from part and tooling design through material selection and process control. It empowers many medical OEMs to address issues before they impact production or the bottom line.

“Kaysun exceeded our expectations in all areas. They made a complex, gigantic program easy from an engineering standpoint. Working with the Kaysun engineering team is like a hot knife through butter.”

Medical OEMs are tasked with providing consistent, high-performance solutions to the challenges posed by a variety of complex applications. Partnering with a custom injection molder that has the experience, knowledge, technical expertise, and certifications needed to adhere to the exacting standards of the medical industry is imperative.Not every molder is qualified, but those who are — like Kaysun — can move your business forward with confidence.

Food, beverage and consumer products industries rely on PET for many of their packaging needs. Among the common applications are:

Although it looks and feels like PET, PETG (or copolyesters) is a modified PET, produced by adding a second glycol during polymerization. PETG removes the hazing that can impact PET and reduces the crystalline effect that can cause PET to become brittle. PET plastic injection molding machines can use PETG to produce bottles that are softer and more pliable for a more comfortable grip. PETG offers clarity, toughness and stiffness and is used in medical test tubes and bottles, lighting fixtures and appliances. The material’s benefits come with a higher cost than the cost of PET.

PET was first polymerized for use as textile fibers known as polyester. Today, PET injection molding manufacturers utilize the material to produce strong, lightweight packing.

A member of the polyester family, PET is the synthesis of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. The addition of glycol produces PETG, widely used by PET injection molding manufacturers in plastic injection molded bottles and containers.

The rapid advancement of the medical industry necessitates constant innovation and complexity in medical device design. Smaller sizes, more intricate geometries, progressive functionalities, and portability are among the greatest needs in today’s medical equipment — and among the biggest challenges for design and engineering teams.

Kaysun is experienced with medical product design, production, and assembly. We are ISO 13485:2016 certified and MedAccred Plastics accredited.

PET’s popularity among PET injection molding manufacturers and their customers is a result of the availability of the materials and relatively low cost. In addition, PET is:

Kaysun has carried the MedAccred Plastics accreditation since 2020, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to excellence and assuring medical OEMs of an unparalleled benchmark of production and quality standards.

Consumers commonly find PET as the material used in plastic jars, convenience packaging and plastic bottles, including those used for carbonated beverages. In the 60 years since it was first introduced, PET has become one of the most widely used and most sustainable plastic materials in the world. Interested in using this material for your project?
