Medical-grade manufacturing.

Silicone moulding for medical device makers using medical-grade materials to a documented specification, with batch traceability from drum to shipment. Not a certification claim we'd make lightly, but a working system we run for OEM customers.

How this actually works

We speak plainly about what we do and what we don't.

There is a version of this page — on other sites — that lists certification numbers and cleanroom class ratings. We're not going to do that here, because certifications belong to the finished device and the notified body that assessed it, not to a moulding supplier's marketing page.

What we do offer, in plain terms: we source silicone from grades documented as suitable for medical device applications, we record the material batch against every run, and we handle moulding in a segregated cell with cleaning and gowning protocols appropriate to the work.

For every medical-grade job, you'll receive a run record listing the material batch, the tool ID, the run date, the operator, and any inspection results. That record is designed to slot into your device history file without your regulatory team needing to reformat it.

If your device has specific regulatory requirements — a defined biocompatibility standard, a specific extractables profile, a documented sterilisation compatibility — tell us at the enquiry stage. We'll spec a grade that supports what you need, or tell you honestly if we're not the right supplier for that job.

Drill down

2 ways we run medical-grade manufacturing.

Each variant has its own page with the specifics: where it fits, how we run it and what to send us.

Skin-contact parts

Silicone is chosen for skin contact because it's soft, stable and well documented. The manufacturing job is to keep it that way: the right…

Medical device seals

Seals inside medical devices keep fluids in, contaminants out and mechanisms working. They're small parts with a lot of responsibility.

What we deliver on medical jobs

Three things every medical-grade run produces.

A material batch record

Every drum or gum batch is recorded against the run. Repeat orders reference the same material specification, and any batch change is documented and communicated.

A run record

Tool ID, run date, cycle count, operator, first-off inspection result, any deviations. Designed to attach to your device history file without reformatting.

Segregated handling

Medical-grade work runs in its own cell, on its own tools, cleaned and gowned appropriately. No cross-contamination from general silicone or rubber work.

The route through the workshop

How a medical-grade part flows.

It's not a special production line. It's the same presses and the same engineers, running to a stricter set of controls, with the paperwork built into the process rather than added at the end.

  1. Grade selection and spec sign-off

    You share your device requirements. We propose a silicone grade documented for medical device use, with the supplier's TDS and biocompatibility documentation. You sign off before we quote the run.

  2. Tool design with cleaning in mind

    The tool is designed with rounded corners, minimal dead spaces, and finish appropriate to the grade. Cleaning between colours or materials is documented before the first run.

  3. Material handling and prep

    Material arrives in sealed drums or containers, batch numbers logged against the run. Handling happens in the medical cell only.

  4. Moulding and first-off

    Standard cycle, extra inspection. First-off parts are checked to the drawing plus any additional visual criteria specified for medical work.

  5. Pack and paperwork

    Parts packed to your spec, run record attached. Shipment lists material batch, tool ID, run date. Ready to attach to your device history file.

To quote it

What we need on medical enquiries.

01

The device role

A rough description of the device and where the silicone part sits in it. That tells us what regulatory frame we're supporting, without needing your full technical file at enquiry stage.

02

Any specific standard called out

If your regulatory pathway names a specific biocompatibility standard or extractables profile, tell us. We'll match a grade that supports it or refer you elsewhere honestly.

03

Volume and continuity

Medical parts are usually long-lived. Tell us the volume you can commit to and how long the programme is expected to run.

04

Documentation format

If your device history file needs run records in a specific format, share the template at quote stage. It's easier to build the record correctly than to retrofit it later.
