Class 7 Clean Room Injection Moulding
Concept to completion project solution
Tex Plastics Barnstaple facility has a long and highly credible history in moulding for the medical sector. With extensive white room moulding and a fully validated EN14644 class 7 (10,000) expanded clean room manufacturing cell – we’ve developed a niche in the lower volume, concept to production, medical device plastic moulding. Our proven process helps medical device manufacturers map their critical path for the Alpha and Beta prototype stages.
ISO 13485 Medical Devices
TEX PLASTICS maintains ISO 13485, the medical device industry’s most widely used international standard for quality management. This is the medical industry’s optimal medical device standard, which ensures that all medical devices meet the proper regulatory compliance laws and customer needs.
Ophthalmic medical devices 60% reduction in cost to produce
Understanding the importance of comfort influenced the moulding and fixing techniques to contribute to the ground breaking device for vitreo-retinal specialists and ophthalmologists.
With a redesign of tooling and the change of polymer, it enabled ultra thin moulding to hit the clients usability requirements. Consolidation of parts into a single assembly also shortened lead-times, so even with Intensive testing and product validation, the clients supply chain shortened – further reducing the plastic component manufacturing costs.
Improves usability and reduces costs medical polyware
In the high pressure environment of an operating theatre, seconds count. Whether rapid response to saving lives or maximising the efficiency of a theatre or treatment room.
With a redesign of tooling and the change of polymer, it enabled ultra thin moulding to hit the clients usability requirements. Because the ultra-thin moulding resulted in lighter products, packaging costs were reduced. Most important of all, the products usability – in other words the product performance – was significantly improved.
Scope Sterilising Container reduces costs of a large DIN tray by 66%
Tex Plastics were able to help the designers enhance the manufactured product so it could meet the extremely demanding environmental and usage requirements. The design process involved several innovations; from Silicone grips to ensure delicate scope and instruments doesn’t get damaged during the cleaning and sterilising process; to smooth corners preventing damage to wrapping papers.
