Silicone Molding
Description
Silicone Molding Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) and Silicone Transfer Molding (STM) are widely used in the medical device industry for the production of various medical device components such as catheters, tubing, connectors and handles or grips. The process of LSR molding involves injecting liquid silicone rubber into a mold cavity, often over electrical connections or a circuit board. It is then allowed to cure or solidify into the desired shape.

We use Silicone Molding at the end of cable assemblies to connect the cable with the connectors. Along with manufacturing over-molding alternatives for limited or single-use devices, we use our over-molding for the components that humans come in contact with to improve the feel and touch of the device, such as molding and overmolding for ECG cables.
