We know how each of these properties applies to different applications in the medical device sector and can ensure that your medical equipment does what it needs to and does it well.

Our staff is well-trained and knowledgeable in handling medical grade plastic material with precision and care, which is just one of the reasons our plastic medical components are trusted for a variety of medical applications across various sectors in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Having worked with partners in the medical industry for several decades, we have a thorough understanding of what works best with medical grade plastics and have applied this knowledge to our entire design and manufacturing process.

Some of the additives used include stabilizers, lubricants, processing aids, pigments, impact modifiers, and fillers. Some features of PVC include low combustibility, toughness (designed to be virtually unbreakable), good weatherability (including good color and impact retention, and no loss in stiffness), and excellent dimensional stability. PVC is highly resistant to oxidizing and reducing agents, and strong acids. However, unplasticised PVC is not recommended for environmental and continuous use above 60 C (140 F). It is not resistant to concentrated oxidizing acids such as sulfuric or nitric acid and is unsuitable for use with aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Our customers have echoed their approval of the strength and durability of our plastic medical components time and time again. Our efficient process also ensures that high volume production runs are not a problem, giving you added peace of mind as a business owner.

We’ve worked with our healthcare industry partners to ensure all of our products have been designed to work with your medical equipment and meet the correct quality standards. You can choose from our standard products or let our in-house team assist you in creating customised medical component products to fit your exact specifications.

For example, the injection pressure is equally essential when inserting the molten plastic into the mould. It contributes to the transparency and durability of the product and helps to create high-quality components for your medical devices. We achieve this pressure using a high clamping force, resulting in exceptional plastic products for all your medical device applications.

A sterile system is essential when manufacturing components for medical devices in harm reduction. With our experience in the medical device field, the team at Plastech understands this well and can produce high-performance harm reduction device components.

Our plastic injection moulding process is efficient and flexible because the moulds themselves can be any shape or size. This gives us creative license and allows us to design any type of component based on your unique needs.

Water distribution piping, home plumbing, house siding, business machine housings, electronics packaging, medical apparatus, packaging for foodstuffs, etc.

Since the medical-grade plastic materials we use can be moulded to any shape, we can create plastic components for medical devices like otoscopes or endoscopes.

It is very important to process the material at the correct melt temperature; otherwise severe problems from decomposition (which produces hydrochloric acid which in turn accelerates decomposition) could result.

The quality of the medical devices you use is crucial. That is why we’ve taken extra care with our manufacturing processes.

All conventional gate types may be used; pin-point and submarine gates are used for molding small components and fan gates are typically used for thick sections. The minimum diameter of pin-point or submarine gates should be 1 mm and the thickness of fan gates should not be less than 1 mm.

Our in-house team can assist you with more than just customised components for your medical devices. We can also help you design and brand your prototypes and products.

PETG, or polyethene terephthalate glycol, is 100% recyclable and offers impressive chemical resistance, while polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is often noted for its corrosion resistance and excellent dimensional stability.

One of the many value-added services that Plastech can offer you is advice on which thermoplastic materials would be best for your requirements. For example, polypropylene (PP) is a robust material that is relatively easy to mould and manipulate, making it a popular choice for plastic injection moulding.

Chemical and Physical Properties Rigid (unplasticised) PVC is one of the most widely used plastic materials. It is produced from sodium chloride and natural gas. The repeat chemical structure is vinyl chloride. Additives are mixed with PVC to make it processible. PVC grades produced by suspension or mass polymerization techniques are the major types used for melt processing. PVC is substantially an amorphous material. Some of the additives used include stabilizers, lubricants, processing aids, pigments, impact modifiers, and fillers. Some features of PVC include low combustibility, toughness (designed to be virtually unbreakable), good weatherability (including good color and impact retention, and no loss in stiffness), and excellent dimensional stability. PVC is highly resistant to oxidizing and reducing agents, and strong acids. However, unplasticised PVC is not recommended for environmental and continuous use above 60 C (140 F). It is not resistant to concentrated oxidizing acids such as sulfuric or nitric acid and is unsuitable for use with aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is very important to process the material at the correct melt temperature; otherwise severe problems from decomposition (which produces hydrochloric acid which in turn accelerates decomposition) could result. PVC is a relatively stiff flow material and has a narrow processing range. The molecular weight determines the flow characteristics. Higher molecular weight materials are more difficult to process (this could be modified by addition of lubricants). Typically, however, relatively low molecular weight grades are used in molding). Shrinkage is fairly low (0.002 - 0.006 mm/mm or 0.2 - 0.6%).

Molten plastic is injected into a mould cavity using a screw once it is the correct consistency for it to be moulded effectively. Thermoplastic materials are ideal in this case because they can be melted and moulded repeatedly. The molten plastic is then cooled and hardened within the cavity to form the shapes required for your high-quality plastic medical components.

All the equipment and technology we use has been designed to boost our production process, creating safe, durable and cost-effective plastic components for medical application.

While using suitable thermoplastics and the correct equipment is vital to our plastic injection moulding process, so are the finer details. These are the seemingly small details that are often overlooked and only come with experience.
