Custom medical device molding requires the use of materials that meet specific criteria for medical applications. The choice of material is crucial as it impacts the device’s performance, safety, and compliance with health regulations.

Common materials used include various grades of medical plastics, such as polycarbonate, polyethylene, and polypropylene. These plastics are chosen for their strength, flexibility, and ability to be sterilized. In some cases, metals like stainless steel or titanium are used for parts that require greater strength or biocompatibility.

Each material is selected based on its properties, including durability, chemical resistance, and ease of sterilization. The selection process ensures that the final product can withstand the conditions it will be exposed to during medical procedures and maintain its integrity over time.

Understanding the properties of these materials helps in designing molds and manufacturing processes that result in high-quality medical devices. The proper material choice is essential for ensuring that the devices perform effectively and are safe for use in medical settings.
