Injection Mold for Single-Use Medical Devices

Molds for single-use medical parts

Injection molding is the standard process for single-use medical plastic parts: syringes, connectors, caps, lab consumables. These parts are produced in very high volumes, so the cost of the mold and the cost per part both matter. A well-designed mold lowers the part price for millions of shots, which is a real opportunity for the medical device manufacturer.

How we design medical molds for low cost

• Cavity count matched to annual volume and press size, so the mold neither sits idle nor limits output.
• Hot runners where volume justifies them, to remove runner scrap and shorten cycles.
• Stainless or hardened steels that resist corrosion and wear over long runs.
• Interchangeable inserts when several sizes of the same part are needed.
• Mold standards such as HASCO or DME so spare parts are easy to source.

Consistency is the requirement

Medical parts are measured, not just looked at. We verify every cavity at T1, issue a first article inspection report and document the process settings, so the mold produces the same part in your plant as in ours.

The mold shown is one of our medical tools; see medical device parts for molded examples such as clear PP caps and TPE dental parts.

How a project like this works

• Tell us what you need – the mold only, molded parts, or both, and your estimated annual volume.
• Send drawings – STEP, IGES, STL, DWG or PDF, or a sample. We sign off moldability in a DFM review.
• Quotation – tooling price, part price and a schedule, with steel, cavities and runner proposed.
• Mold design approval – you approve the 3D mold design before steel is cut.
• T1 samples + FAI report – production or mold shipment starts after your approval.

Shipping molds and parts

• Molds are cleaned, rust-protected, marked and checked against a shipment checklist: cooling circuits, sprue, locating ring, ejection and support pillars.
• Molds ship with drawings, a spare-parts list and the T1 process sheet.
• Parts are packed to your packing instruction and inspected before shipment.
• We ship to customers in Europe, the USA and Asia.
