Micro Needles

Micro Material: The micro needle device is made from LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer).

Micro Features: The needle has a 5 micron tip radius (left).

Description: This test specimen illustrates the difference between an MTD high-precision molded micro needle (left) with a 5 micron radius on the tip, which was created with Sarix EDM technology, and an industry standard needle point with a .003" radius tip (right).

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.

Do you have a challenging thermoplastic design?

Have you tried working with another manufacturer, who has yet to successfully build your design?
