The continued trend toward smaller devices and rapid growth in minimally invasive surgical procedures is driving demand for micro-sized solutions from medical device manufacturers and component suppliers.

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics' proprietary micromolding process delivers higher precision and shot-to-shot repeatability than conventional injection molding and achieves tolerance targets on complex medical devices that conventional molders cannot maintain. With in-house tooling and dedicated project engineers, Saint-Gobain is your partner in developing and producing even the smallest of medical devices.

Molding the Impossible Parts as small as 0.001g Complex part geometries Extremely tight tolerances Holes Thin wall sections Undercuts Threads Blind shutoffs Typical Applications include: Minimally Invasive Surgery: Laproscopic, Thoracoscopic, Ophthalmic Advanced Drug Delivery Vascular Devices Catheter Components IV Therapy
