How Is Injection Moulding Used in the Medical Industry
2025-11-05
Working at KSHOW, I’ve seen firsthand how Medical Mould technology has transformed the healthcare manufacturing process. Every day, our engineering team collaborates with hospitals, research labs, and medical device companies to design precision-engineered moulds that deliver consistency, cleanliness, and safety. Many clients come to us with one big question — how exactly does injection moulding support the medical industry, and what makes it so reliable? Let’s explore this together.
What Makes Injection Moulding Essential for Medical Applications
In the medical field, every detail matters. A minor defect in a syringe, catheter, or test kit could compromise patient safety. Injection moulding ensures:
-
High Precision: Parts are produced with tight tolerances, ensuring reliability in clinical use.
-
Consistency in Mass Production: Every component matches the previous one — crucial for large-scale medical supply.
-
Sterile Material Compatibility: Medical-grade plastics such as PP, PC, and ABS can be sterilized easily without deformation.
-
Reduced Contamination Risk: Closed-system moulding minimizes human contact during production.
-
Cost Efficiency: Once the mould is developed, per-unit production costs drop significantly.
What Types of Medical Devices Can Be Made with Injection Moulding
Our Medical Mould systems are widely used in producing:
-
Syringes and infusion sets
-
Blood collection tubes
-
Surgical instrument handles
-
Inhaler components
-
Diagnostic test housings
-
Catheter parts and IV connectors
Each product requires a different moulding solution, but the principle remains the same — precision, hygiene, and repeatability.
How Do We Ensure Accuracy and Cleanroom Compliance
At KSHOW, we follow strict production standards to ensure every medical mould meets international hygiene and quality certifications. Our manufacturing environment and process controls are designed specifically for medical-grade projects.
| Parameter | Specification | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mould Material | S136, NAK80, or H13 | High hardness and corrosion-resistant steels for long life |
| Mould Life | 500,000–1,000,000 shots | Suitable for high-volume medical production |
| Surface Finish | Mirror polish (Ra < 0.05μm) | Ensures smooth product surfaces for easy sterilization |
| Injection Tolerance | ±0.01 mm | High precision suitable for small, detailed components |
| Cavity Number | 1–96 cavities | Supports both prototype and mass production runs |
| Certification | ISO 13485 / ISO 9001 | Compliance with medical device manufacturing standards |
This technical foundation allows us to provide moulds that not only meet design expectations but also pass rigorous cleanroom validation.
