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.
Micro Needle Wheel
Micro Material: Confidential thermoplastic Micro Features: The micro-needle wheel geometry was created with Sarix micro EDM technology, which includes 36 needle features. Each needle measures .003” wide with a height of .0059″. Description: The device has...
Implantable Ligating Clip
Micro Material: The implantable device is molded from a confidential thermoplastic material Micro Features: The ligating clip features a crescent-shaped window which measures 0.010″ (0.25 mm) wide. Description: Yes, it snaps closed! The average cross section is...
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...
Overmolded Surgical Hypotubes
Micro Material: The hypotubes are made of a confidential thermoplastic material. Description: The .011″ diameter overmolded surgical hypotubes have an extremely small tube-to-tube offset. Strategic gating was important to maintain an exact orientation of the...
