3 BENEFITS OF PLASTICS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD

Plastic is one of the frequent materials that we all are using in our daily life and modern healthcare isn’t possible without the use of plastic materials. From the small tube to many machines there is uses some types of plastic material.
And these plastic are manufacture with the help of the Injection Molding Machine. It compresses many components performs the different operations to create a perfect plastic product.

Why plastic used in Medical Field?

Plastic makes health care simpler and more comfortable and things such as blood bags, disposable syringes are made up of plastic materials. Also, plastics are usefull in eyeglass frames because of their lightweight. Also it is a key component of modern prosthetic devices with more flexibility and comfort.

If we make plastic in the injection molding machine it produces an output product with lightweight, low cost, durability, and transparency that are exceptionally used in many medical appliances.

Picking the appropriate medical-grade plastic is important for any manufacturer to end up with the best quality devices. The common plastic material in medical industries includes PET, PP, PE which is important material in the medical Industry.

Let us consider a situation if a person is allergic to some metal. But if we replace the metal with high grade plastic it helps to protect from hypo-allergenic plastic for better care and treatment.

Sterility:

Plastics are used in medical tools such as surgical gloves, syringes, insulin pens, IV tubes, catheters, etc. Such products are manufacture by the injection molding machine. These plastic for medical purpose is for one-time use and prevent the spread of diseases by reducing the need to sterilize and re-use a device. Antimicrobial plastics are highly effective in killing bacteria and helps to eliminate the pathogen.

Enhanced Safety:

Plastic is durable, and it is used to create many medical component such as create medical packaging, blisters packs and waste disposable bags. Plastics are also shatter-proof because it is convenient for storage and transportation.

Cost-effectiveness:

Due to the wide variety of applications and with the affordable manufacturing cost, makes the medical grade plastic more effective. Metal and glass properties are easily getting corrosion but the plastic will resist both of them.
