Overmolded Suturing Device

Overmolded Suturing Device

Micro Material: The device is made from Ultem, an amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide (PEI) resin.

Micro Features: The overmolded assembly design has a spring OD of 0.11" (0.28mm). The Ultem wall thickness is 0.012" (0.30mm).

Description: The assembly device and mating overmolded tube were components of an endoscopic suturing device used in a non-robotic, minimally invasive surgery. The laparoscopic procedure deployed a circular pattern of staples to create a closure.

Are you developing an overmolded micro medical device?

Talk to MTD.

 

MTD specializes in overmolding—a process for molding two or more materials together to form a component. We offer insert molding and multi-shot (or multi-material) molding. Because all our services are under one roof, our engineers can efficiently resolve problems and challenges for the most complex overmolding design.

Our in-house CT scanning capabilities allow us to analyze overmolded parts with metal or different densities of plastic materials, and to accurately measure internal features.

We also excel at cost-effective, high-volume production through robotics and automation. Our custom micro medical device assembly solutions and packaging is the last step in producing your micro medical device.
