Medical devices often use custom colored components for branding, aesthetics, or functional purposes. Injection molding or extruding limited quantities of these components is common in early stage prototype development. Small quantities of custom colored polymers are desirable; yet, traditional minimum order quantities offered by many custom compounders range from 50 to several hundred pounds due to equipment and/or economic limitations. Foster's 25 pound (11 kg) minimum order quantities is designed to meet the needs of manufactures in early stage development, and ultimately scalable for commercial manufacturing.
