The Impact of Material Selection on Medical Device Mold Quality

Factors Influencing Material Selection:

1. Biocompatibility: The material must be safe for use in medical applications and not pose any risk of adverse reactions when in contact with the human body.

2. Sterilization Compatibility: The material should be able to withstand the sterilization methods commonly used in healthcare settings without degrading or affecting its properties.

3. Dimensional Stability: The mold material should have low shrinkage rates to maintain the precise dimensions of the medical device and ensure a tight fit.

4. Wear Resistance: Medical device molds are subjected to repeated use, so the material must be able to withstand wear and tear without compromising the quality of the products.

5. Chemical Resistance: The material should be resistant to the chemicals used in the manufacturing process and any potential exposure to bodily fluids or other substances.
