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 materials for medical injection molding involves considering not only use cases and specific material properties but also:
Durability and Strength
In the medical field, using fragile materials is not feasible. It's essential to choose materials that are resistant to breakage and fracture, ensuring the necessary durability and strength for the specific medical applications.
Operating Conditions
Before selecting a material, it's important to evaluate the operating environment. For instance, if parts will undergo frequent sterilization or be exposed to high temperatures, heat-resistant materials like polypropylene should be used. For parts that require both flexibility and durability, materials such as polycarbonate are ideal.
Ease of Use
Consider the end user and the intended use of the part. Ergonomically inefficient and cumbersome surgical instruments can hinder performance. Lightweight, ergonomic, and easy-to-sterilize instruments not only enhance functionality but also improve efficiency in the medical setting.
