Meeting Strict Standards, Scaling Safely
In the fast-evolving world of medical technology, precision and speed are everything. Whether you’re launching a diagnostic device, updating housings for a handheld scanner, or scaling single-use components, plastic injection moulding provides the ideal combination of repeatability, hygiene, and cost efficiency.
At Stephens Plastic Mouldings, we support UK-based medical device manufacturers by delivering dependable moulded plastic parts – fast, sterile, and always compliant.
Why Injection Moulding Is Ideal for Medical Devices
Medical plastics must perform under pressure – literally and figuratively. From withstanding sterilisation to ensuring biocompatibility, every part must be precise and regulation-ready.
Key benefits of medical-grade plastic injection moulding:
- Tight Tolerances: Critical for diagnostic accuracy and part integration.
- Scalable Production: From prototypes to millions of units.
- Material Versatility: Choose from certified, sterile, or antimicrobial plastics.
- Clean Handling: Controlled environments minimise contamination risk.
- Design Flexibility: Complex geometries, micro-features, and snap-fit elements made simple.
Applications We Support
Our medical moulding services are tailored for:
- Diagnostic device housings.
- Single-use components (valves, caps, nozzles).
- Surgical and dental tool casings.
- Lab equipment enclosures.
- Medical packaging components.
We work closely with manufacturers, labs, and product developers to ensure your medical parts meet strict industry and regulatory standards – and pass with flying colours.

FAQs for Medical Device Buyers
1. Can you produce sterile-grade moulded parts for medical applications?
Yes. We use medical-grade polymers and GMP-aligned processes to deliver clean, traceable components suitable for medical device assembly.
2. What plastics are commonly used for injection moulded medical devices?
ABS, polypropylene, polycarbonate, and TPE are common choices. We can advise on materials suitable for sterilisation, biocompatibility, and regulatory compliance.
3. Do you support rapid prototyping for NHS or clinical trial projects?
Absolutely. We offer low-volume tooling and fast-turn sample runs to help your product reach testing and market milestones on time.
4. How do you ensure component quality for Class I/II medical devices?
Our process includes in-line inspections, traceable production batches, and documentation support aligned with ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 expectations.
5. What is your minimum order quantity for medical moulding?
We’re flexible. Whether you need 50 parts for a field trial or 500,000 units for production, our process is designed to scale with you.
