Thermoplastics Portfolio
These micro medical components are made with thermoplastics, which is a medical grade polymer that becomes pliable above a specific temperature, but returns to its rigid state upon cooling. See our Thermoplastic Materials page to learn about the types of materials we work with.
Our specialized micromolding process and capabilities allows us to achieve >95% part’s model geometry produced without exception, even with extremely small and precise features like ultra thin walls.
Overmolded Sensor
Micro Material: This micro medical device is overmolded with a medical grade acrylic. Description: Flow lines seen under high magnification show how gently the cavity was filled to be able to successfully encapsulate the substrate without causing damage to the sensor....
PEEK Biopsy Marker
Micro Materials: This biopsy marker device is molded from 20% BaSO4-filled PEEK (PolyEther Ether Keytone). Micro Features: The implant is 1.5mm in diameter, with small holes that are 0.5mm in diameter. Description: This long-term PEEK medical implant required...
Vascular Tip
Micro Materials: The vascular micro medical device is molded in PC (Polycarbonate), a thermoplastic material. Description: Diamond turned inserts were required to achieve optical clarity in one area of the design. Do you have similar features on your new micro medical...
Overmolded Circuit Board
Micro Material: This micro medical device is overmolded with Pebax, a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). Micro Features: Extremely thin walls (.003″) were required to minimize the overall part size. Description: These delicate medical circuit boards needed to be...
