One of the most significant advantages of injection molding is its design flexibility. Engineers can create complex, customized components with minimal tooling changes. This adaptability is essential in a field where the demand for innovative and unique medical devices is ever-expanding.

The injection molding process generates minimal material waste compared to other manufacturing methods. This not only contributes to cost savings but also aligns with the increasing focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing practices.

Injection molding produces parts with a high level of structural integrity, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of their intended application. These parts are less prone to defects and offer superior performance over their lifecycle.

At PTI, we have over 16,000 square feet of ISO Class 8 cleanroom space that we utilize in our injection molding process to ensure as little contamination as possible.  We adhere to strict protocols that meet the demands the medical industry requiring ISO 14644 Cleanroom specifications, including bioburden and electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Injection molding is scalable, which means it can cater to a variety of production volumes, from small-scale prototypes to mass production. This scalability offers manufacturers the flexibility to meet different market demands.

Our custom rotational molding capabilities allow us to create a wide variety of products to meet your exact resin type, size, thickness, and color specifications.

In many cases, our medical device customers look to process validation to ensure quality parts.  After all, patients lives depend on PTI to deliver high quality parts each and every time.

Furthermore, we have over 5,000 square feet of controlled environment space.  This segregated area is temperature controlled and pressurized, and can accommodate part decorating, assembly and packaging needs.

Careful selection of materials is extremely important within the medical industry. Materials must meet FDA and other regulatory standards, ensuring patient safety, biocompatibility, sterilizability and durability.  As Injection molding allows for a vast selection of both thermoplastic and thermoset materials to choose from, there is certain to be a material suitable for just about any application.

Some of the most common materials used in medical devices are: Polypropylene, ABS, Polyurethane, Polyvinylchloride, Polycarbonate, Polystyrene, Polysulfone, Acetal and Polyethylene.

Injection molding allows medical design engineers the freedom to design complex or intricate parts, a vast selection of suitable materials and the consistency to produce both low and high volumes of devices.

Meeting stringent regulatory requirements is a non-negotiable in the medical device industry. Injection molding excels in this regard. The ability to use FDA-approved materials and consistently produce parts that meet these standards ensures compliance from the outset.

The seamless plastic products we make within our rotational molding facility are numerous and ever growing. From water-tight tanks to mudguards and toolboxes, the possibilities are endless — and we are proud to be a part of that advancement. Whether you designed a new product headed for prototyping, or are searching for a better production solution for an existing one, Advanced Plastics Rotomolding is the first place to start.

Family owned and operated with nearly two decades of rotomolding experience, you can count on our company to meet the requirements of yours. Here are some of the reasons others choose Advanced Plastics Rotomolding, LLC…

Mold Design is a crucial step in the injection molding process.  Once you’ve finalized your part in CAD software for fit and function, it must then be transformed into a design for molding to ensure the capture of all the specified details.  In some cases, certain features of the part design may not be manufacturable via the injection molding process.

Process Validation as defined by the FDA is “The collection and evaluation of data, from the process design stage throughout production, which establishes scientific evidence that a process is capable of consistently delivering quality products.”

PTI Engineered Plastics provides medical device manufacturers with full-service advanced product development delivered in a compressed timeframe. With superior design for manufacturability, tooling, and molding capabilities, PTI turns product visions into reality and gets your product to market first.

Injection molding offers unmatched precision and consistency in the production of medical device components. The process allows for intricate designs and tight tolerances, ensuring that each part is identical to the next. This uniformity is crucial in the medical field, where reliability and precision are paramount.

Plastics have become a part of everyday life, with more and more product developers opting for the benefits of rotationally molded components. The manufacturing process we specialize in — rotational molding — affords inventors, designers, and product manufacturers enhanced flexibility when compared to other forms of manufacturing.

Many medical devices must be in direct contact with the human body. Injection molding allows manufacturers to choose biocompatible materials, ensuring patient safety. These materials can be sterilized without affecting their properties, making them suitable for a wide range of medical applications.

At PTI, we collaborate with you to achieve the best possible design for manufacturability.  In fact, we have a FREE guide to help you with this.

We have been serving the medical industry for nearly 40 years, specializing in handling complex, multi-part programs and medical device molding for a variety of customers. Our direct contact with doctors and other medical professionals gives us insight into their needs and helps define and assist with final product solutions.

Injection molded parts can undergo a variety of post-processing operations, such as assembly, machining, laser marking, pad printing or surface finishing, to meet the exact requirements of the medical device.

We excel at creating unique solutions for you by first understanding your product's applications. Let us become your single source for plastic products — contact us to learn more.

With streamlined production processes, injection molding can significantly reduce time-to-market for medical devices. This is crucial in a rapidly evolving industry where innovations can make a significant impact on patient care and outcomes.

Process validation is the best way to ensure the production of safe parts, to reduce rejection rates, to prevent part failures in the field and to ensure the part meets with application, specification and regulatory obligations.

Injection molding for medical devices represents the perfect synergy of precision engineering and advanced manufacturing technology. Its benefits, from precision and consistency to cost-efficiency and regulatory compliance, make it a top choice for design engineers and medical device manufacturers. The process empowers engineers to innovate, create intricate components, and bring lifesaving devices to market faster than ever before. The future of medical device manufacturing is being molded with precision, and injection molding is at the forefront of this revolution.

The high initial tooling costs can be a barrier to entry for some manufacturers. However, once the molds are in place, injection molding is incredibly cost-effective for large production runs. The ability to produce a large number of parts in a short time reduces unit costs significantly, making it an ideal choice for mass production.

Having served the medical industry for nearly 40 years, we understand medical device manufacturing.   Plastic Injection Molding remains one of the best manufacturing methods for achieving precision and cost-efficiency as well as maintaining patient safety.
