INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Plastics for the Medical Industry
Medical equipment specifies plastics for reasons that read like a compliance checklist: sterilizable, chemically resistant, radiolucent, electrically insulating, machinable to tight tolerance. We stock medical-grade materials, supply full cert documentation, and machine components under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system.

- Surgical instrument handles/grips
- Dental instrument handles/grips
- Orthopedic implants
- Pacemaker leads
- Endoscopic housing/eyepieces
- Sterilization trays/caddies
- X-ray and MRI parts
- Dialysis machines housings
- Respiratory units
- Pharmaceutical production/packaging
- Fluid distribution-valve housings/ nozzles
- IV and infusion devices
- Diagnostic systems
- Feeding tubes
- Catheters
