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 Medical Solutions 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.

Trelleborg collaborated with WACKER to develop a new material to ensure the smooth operation of the pump in an automated dosing systems.

A good partnership is essential to promoting successful manufacturing of complex medical devices, leading to faster prototyping timeline and higher device quality.

Advancements and miniaturization in the medical device industry have improved healthcare around the globe Learn how micromolding is transforming the way healthcare is managed.
