Micro Material: This implantable ENT device is molded from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).
Micro Features: The tube design features an internal diameter of 1mm.
Description: The ear tube required no gate vestige to avoid skin irritation during use. Because EVA is a very soft material, we created a specialized tooling construction to control vestige at the gate location.

Medical micro injection molding is what we do. And all we do.
We’ve made millions of micromolded medical parts. We know how to produce the high quality our customers demand for applications all around the body.
We have years of expertise in problem-solving the most challenging micro part designs, including ones that feature ultra-thin wall stocks, high aspect ratios, and extremely tight tolerances.
Thermoplastics are a great micromolding material to work with as they become pliable above a specific temperature, but return to their rigid state upon cooling. The challenge with thermoplastics is knowing when a seemingly minor change in the design or an alternative thermoplastic material choice can significantly impact the quality and cost-effectiveness of the part.
MTD’s advanced technologies and flawless tooling execution helps customers achieve the highest results possible.
