The miniaturization of components in a broad range of polymers gives medical designers greater flexibility in designing devices such as fluid delivery systems, diagnostic equipment and endoscopic devices for minimally invasive cardiovascular and orthopedic procedures. Meeting these demands and needs, Minnesota Rubber QMR Plastics provides custom molded components as small as one millimeter in diameter and weighing under .01g.
Minnesota Rubber molds these miniature components in a full range of advanced polymers, including: custom blends of PEEK, polycarbonate, polysulphone, Nylon, polyethylene and polypropylene. All are designed specifically to meet the needs of the medical device industry. The performance benefits of these polymers include: sterilizability, chemical compatibility, biocompatibility, durability and hydrolytic stability at elevated temperatures.
