Manufacturing medical equipment is one of the most technically demanding projects that injection moulders undertake. There is no room for error, as medical moulders need to meet stringent specifications, tight tolerance, and strict sterilisation requirements.
At Skar Precision Mouldings, we specialise in high precision moulding of medical components for medical equipment, analysis equipment, and medical instruments. The precise nature of the work cannot be overstated. In this short article, we examine the reasons why.
The range of different polymers explicitly formulated for healthcare applications is considerable. A key feature is that they can cope with varying processes of sterilisation and don’t harbour pathogens.
Plastics are used for essential one-time-use medical tools such as syringes, connectors and fittings. They can also be used for more durable medical equipment and are utilised across a variety of different medical specialities, from orthopaedics to dentistry.
Attention to detail always matters in precision moulding, but nowhere is that more important than when it comes to manufacturing medical equipment. Every device is mission-critical, and accuracy and precision are critical.
It’s no exaggeration to say that precision moulded medical equipment saves and improves lives. Any problems with the equipment can ultimately lead to issues with the treatment. At Skar, we take this responsibility very seriously and ensure that all medical equipment we manufacture is free of faults or weak spots.
It’s taking care of the manufacturing process that matters with medical equipment. It’s also essential to guarantee that the highest quality materials are used. This ensures that the finished equipment can cope with the exacting demands of a medical environment with little risk of failure.
When it comes to manufacturing medical equipment, high cleanliness standards are fundamental. Our medical equipment manufacturing operation at Skar is conducted to stringent specifications.
We are ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified, and quality assurance and monitoring are built into every aspect of our work. Our quality management system incorporates full material batch traceability.
