Medical Silicone Injection Molding

Medical silicone moulding is often performed at high pressure, forcing the silicone into small gaps in the mould (which other moulding methods cannot reach), allowing for the fabrication of intricate and sophisticated parts. When compared to other moulding techniques, medical silicone injection moulding produces smooth products with little finishing required following removal from the mould, resulting in less wastage formation. Injection moulding waste is frequently recyclable, likely to result in a more eco-friendly and cost-effective approach.

Liquid silicone rubber systems, compression and injection moulding, over moulding, and seals. A full range of precision silicone moulded components is produced by Arrow Medical, including a variety of components for use in breathing apparatus for the safety industry. Components, sub-assemblies and complete products are destined for use in a variety of applications. These include breathing equipment, and medical sealing applications. Injection moulding presses are available for component production, extending from Maplan presses to Arburg, exclusively used for liquid silicone rubber work.

Medical silicone injection moulding produces nearly similar products from part to part, resulting in exceptional brand integrity and part dependability during high volume runs, especially important for medical parts and devices. High reproducibility also enables output to be scaled up to very huge numbers, leading to low costs per unit after initial equipment investment. Furthermore, medical silicone moulding is an excellent choice for a wide variety of part sizes, materials, and colours. Additionally, this method allows for the use of different materials at the same time, providing for a high level of personalisation.
