Medical Industry looks for superior physical properties, flexibility in selection of materials, corrosion resistance properties reliability.
Metal injection molding (MIM) is a manufacturing process that can be used to produce complex metal parts for various industries, including medical devices. MIM parts are typically used for applications where high strength, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility are important. The use of MIM helps to improve the performance, durability and safety of medical equipments, while also reducing manufacturing costs and shortening delivery times. MIM parts offer several advantages for medical devices, such as:
Complex geometries: MIM can create complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to produce with traditional manufacturing methods.
High precision: MIM parts can be manufactured with very tight tolerances, which is very important for medical equipment that require accurate measurements.
Consistency: MIM parts are highly consistent, with minimal variation between parts.
Material selection: MIM can be used to manufacture parts from various materials, including stainless steel, titanium and cobalt-chromium alloys.
Cost-effectiveness: MIM can be an economical and efficient alternative to traditional manufacturing methods for producing small and medium batches of parts.
Some examples of medical equipment that may use MIM parts include surgical instruments, orthopedic implants, dental implants and drug delivery devices. MIM is widely used in the medical equipment: such as scissors, tweezers, orthopedic dental brackets, body suture needles, biopsy sampling forceps, scalpel handles and so on.
