Molding for Medical Device Assembly - Plastic injection molding offers numerous advantages and challenges

摘要

Many people cringe at the mere thought of getting a shot or an injection while visiting a doctor's office or a hospital. Ironically, a less painful type of injection is giving medical device engineers something to shout about. Manufacturers have been adopting new plastic injection-molding technology to boost throughput, improve quality and reduce production costs. It's having a big impact on the way cannulas, catheters, connectors, filters, inhalers, orthopedic devices, pumps, syringes, tubes, valves and other medical products are assembled.
