Why Use A Medical Grade Silicone For Your Component?
Using medical-grade silicone offers a number of benefits for medical components, including meeting FDA regulations, superior gas permeability, excellent bonding and overmolding capabilities, as well as high flexibility and tear resistance.
Medbio offers a number of tips to follow for a successful startup in designing and producing injection-molded parts.
Injection molding has numerous key parameters that must tie together in order to make a repeatable molding process. Medbio offers a solution that utilizes cavity pressure curves, key process parameter tolerances, and automation to automatically reject parts that do not make the cut in in the molding process.
Vaccines and other large-molecule products require unique storage conditions, especially during the cold chain. Helium detection technology can improve the quality of drug delivery system and container design.
Designing a product with consideration for the manufacturing process can reduce production times and costs, as well as simplify development of transport, storage, and protection solutions.
