What Materials Work Best for Medical Applications?
PEEK has strong chemical resistance, radiation resistance, and wear resistance. Due to its incredible heat resistance, PEEK is suitable for sterilization and injection molding. It is commonly used in orthopedic instruments, dental implants, healing caps, and spinal fusion devices.
This thermoplastic material with high molecular weight is suitable for wearable medical devices. However, PE cannot be sterilized using high-pressure sterilizers due to its poor heat resistance.
PP has high heat resistance, making it ideal for producing parts that require regular sterilization with high-pressure sterilizers. PP is also tough, lightweight, cost-effective, and resistant to radiation, chemicals, electricity, and organic solvents.
- PS offers good impact resistance and dimensional stability. It is non-toxic, affordable, tasteless, FDA-compliant, and lightweight, making it suitable for petri dishes and test tubes.
This robust and flexible engineering thermoplastic has high vibration resistance, heat resistance, impact resistance, and UV resistance. PC has good dimensional stability and is commonly used in medical instruments.
Choosing the Right Material for Medical-Grade Products:
Choosing materials for medical injection molding involves considering not only use cases and specific material properties but also:
Medical Post-Processing Capabilities
- Anodizing
- Passivization
- Electroplating
- Powder Coating
- Insert Installation
- Heat Treatment
