Clean room injection molding is a process used for producing medical device and combination product components in wide range of materials, enabling us to precisely match customer specifications. Along with advanced additive manufacturing, it delivers a full spectrum of capabilities.
Partnering with an outsourced contract manufacturer gives you access to the most cutting-edge equipment, highly skilled engineers and advanced technology which in turn helps to decrease project implementation lead-times and costs, whilst also overcoming limited capacity constraints. With the life saving device components and the need to ensure a low level of bioburden, outsourcing injection molding and other value-added services under one roof is a key advantage.
SteriPack uses clean room injection molding for medical device, combination and pharmaceutical components using a host of materials including medical grade elastomers and most thermoplastic grades is compliant to a variety of healthcare and medical standards and approvals (FDA, USP Class VI and others). We focus on complex components in medium to low quantities with the capability to producing parts from 0,1 to 100 cm³ in Class 7 and 8 controlled clean room environments. SteriPack injection molding is a part of complete device manufacturing process along with value-added services such as welding, printing, assembling, packaging and sterilization.
