The trend to miniaturize devices significantly increases the complexity of manufacturing and requires equipment, tooling, and processes that promote a high level of precision. When paired with our team’s ability to Design for Manufacturability, the scaleup to production is seamless. Micromolding possibilities are nearly endless. The combination of our micromolding capabilities and polymer technologies such as bioresorbable polymers, composites containing radiopaque compounds and more, enable us to create new and unique solutions to some of the medical industry’s toughest challenges.

 

Our capabilities include:

  • Silicone Micromolding
  • Electronics/Flex Circuit Overmolding
  • Plastics Micromolding
  • Tool Making
  • Multicomponent Molding
  • Overmolding

Increasing demand for micromolding capabilities

Advanced bioresorbable polymers and minimally invasive surgery have increased the demand for micro-molded medical devices. Bioresorbable materials provide structural support, via an implantable device, inside the body for a predetermined time frame. The implants are then reabsorbed and dissolved by the body once the intended period of healing has concluded.

 

Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical is on the leading edge of micromolding with silicone and plastic to meet the demands of our customer. Our micromolding process starts with high-quality injection molding tooling. All micromolding tools require a high degree of precision in tolerances and shut-off surfaces to precisely control the flow of material into the mold cavity. To achieve this level of quality, a manufacturer needs high-precision machining equipment and highly skilled toolmakers.
