Advanced Surgical Devices

Many innovations have been made in the advanced surgical device field in recent years. As advanced surgical devices become more complex, it becomes increasingly necessary to create micro molded components that are both high-quality and effective. At PDC, we offer the micro molding capabilities that manufacturers need when producing these surgical devices.

Count on PDC for the components you need for your advanced surgical devices.

Micro molding is a specialized type of plastic injection molding that is used to manufacture extremely small plastic parts, typically with dimensions on the order of a few millimeters or less. Some examples of advanced surgical devices that are manufactured using micro molding capabilities include:

  • Laparoscopic instruments: Laparoscopic instruments are small, specialized tools that are used in minimally invasive surgery. Micro molding is used to manufacture the small plastic parts that make up these instruments, including the handles, shafts, and tips.
  • Microsurgical instruments: Microsurgical instruments are specialized tools used for very small scale surgeries, such as those performed on the eye or the inner ear. Micro molding is used to manufacture the small plastic parts that make up these instruments, including the handles, shafts, and tips.
  • Microcatheters: Microcatheters are small, flexible tubes that are used to deliver medications or perform diagnostic procedures in small blood vessels or other narrow spaces in the body. Micro molding is used to manufacture the small plastic parts that make up these catheters, including the hubs, shafts, and distal tips.

PDC’s vertically integrated facility enables technologies for the manufacturing of a wide range of advanced surgical devices, enabling the development of small, precise, and reliable tools for use in complex surgical procedures.
