Medical injection molding

Plastic injection molding of medical parts from Ensinger

Injection molded components made from high performance plastics such as PEEK, PPSU or PSU (MT) can be used in a wide range of medical and healthcare applications. 
Reliable performance in these application areas requires high precision, first-class quality and strict compliance with industry standards throughout the entire medical injection molding process.

Furthermore, technological progress and innovations in medical technology are leading to new and sophisticated medical instruments and devices, in the development and manufacture of which the injection molding process plays an important and profitable role.

Development partner for medical plastic injection molding solutions

Together with our partners, we develop medical injection molded products and assemblies competently, flexibly and to the highest quality standards. We ensure smooth industrialization through professional project support and management. With our robust quality assurance programme, we also ensure the reliable implementation of manufacturing processes. To this end, we offer extensive materials expertise to select or develop the appropriate material for your specific injection molding application.
Working closely with pioneers in medical technology, we thus also turn new ideas into solutions that support advanced medical treatments.

Injection molding technologies for demanding medical applications

Thanks to our in-house compounding facilities and our comprehensive range of medical-grade materials, we offer a very wide variety of materials for injection molding in the medical technology sector, providing you with an excellent choice for your specific application.
Furthermore, costs across the entire value chain can be reduced for users through the use of suitable injection molding processes. We offer a comprehensive range of advanced technologies:

We are also happy to support you in joining technology as well as in the manufacture and assembly of medical assemblies. Using various printing and marking technologies (e.g. laser marking) as well as surface treatments and deburring technologies (e.g. blasting), we meet the requirements for haptics, aesthetics and traceability.

Sterilisable, reusable injection molded medical instruments 

Many of our materials meet the specific requirements regarding reusability, cleaning, disinfection or sterilization, chemical resistance and the necessary mechanical strength of medical and surgical instruments.
All these applications also place the highest demands on tolerances, tactile feel and appearance. Through further processing, we can ensure a clean surface finish and a burr-free finish

Lightweight, X-ray transparent & non-magnetic medical molding applications

Compared to metal instruments, medical plastic components allow X-ray transparency, are non-magnetic and can also be color-coded. For cutlery and applications in the operating theater, the low weight of plastic instruments contributes to gentle handling, even during prolonged use
We can also manufacture medical injection-molded components for neurosurgery, such as head mounts or trial implants. We produce the complex shapes and design geometries required for this with high precision and efficiency using our injection molding technologies.

Injection molded functional components and assemblies for medical devices & apparatuses

Our injection molded medical products are used, among other things, in diagnostic and operating theater equipment, where they take over important mechanical functions, such as dry lubrication, reduce wear and ensure the necessary mechanical strength.

Long-term resistance to X-rays and continuous operating temperatures of 260 °C, e.g. for computer tomography (CT), can also be achieved with injection molded components made of high-performance plastics.

We can injection mold our own thermoplastic composites into medical components that are used, for example, in operating theater robots.

Near-net-shape medical injection molding blanks

In medical technology, some components also require individual machining to achieve special contours and accuracies. Injection molding of blanks significantly increases the material variety and selection options. In addition, material losses and thus costs can be significantly reduced through near-net-shape injection molding.
We have many years of experience in the production of such blanks and can also reliably injection mold larger wall thicknesses without cavities.
We offer completion by CNC machining as well as assembly of subassemblies from a single source
