Medical Device Injection Molding
Hochuen Medical provides small and large scale injection molding of medical devices. With more than 60 injection molding machines and class 10k-100k clean rooms, Hochuen has the capability to design, create, and manufacture medical devices.
What is Medical Injection Molding?
Plastic injection molding is an efficient and cost-effective method of producing medical device parts with high levels of precision and quality. Injection molding is used to create components for medical devices. Injection molding is a highly cost-effective manufacturing method for medical devices, especially for high production volumes.
Types of Injection Molding Used for Medical Prototypes
Injection molding comes in many forms and each type is utilized based on the desired application for the medical device. Hochuen provides all these injection molding processes based on what application would be ideal for the medical device.
Hochuen has experience injection molding with the following materials: Medical grade PC, PMMA, COC, COP, PS, PP, TPE/TPU, LSR, ABS, etc. Each project however has different requirements and we will work with you to determine what works best for your project.
Liquid Silicone Rubber Injection Molding
Liquid Silicone Rubber enables fabrication of small silicone features on microfluidic and cartridge devices. Hochuen is able to integrate LSR components with other substrates to form a complete device.
Overmolding
Overmolding is an injection molding process used to mold one plastic over the top of another component (substrate), which is usually an injection-molded plastic part.
Insert Molding
This process is very similar to overmolding but instead uses a preformed part that is then loaded into a mold. After that, it is then over-molded with a thermoplastic resin to create a final component.
Injection Molding Applications for Medical Devices
Injection-molded parts for medical devices can be used in many different applications, including:
Point-of-Care Testing IVD Devices
Off-Shelf Disposables (Vials, Transfer Pipettes, etc.)
Hochuen Uses Injection Molding to Create Medical Device Prototypes
Hochuen is one of the largest OEM/ODM manufacturers for In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD), point of care testing devices, medical disposables & devices, and wearable medical products. From the design stage to the prototype and mass production stages, Hochuen brings your medical device concept to life.
Hochuen’s robust in-house manufacturing capabilities allow for expedited prototype development and mold modifications. Our manufacturing sites consist of class 10k-100k cleanrooms and a GMP facility, and we have over 60 injection molding machines on-site.
Our in-house mold shop is equipped with high-speed and high-precision CNC machines, enabling greater control over the quality of our products. Our turn-around time for prototype molds is 1~2 weeks and for production molds, it is 4-6 weeks depending on the design complexity and once the design is locked.
No matter what stage of development your medical device is in, Hochuen can help every step of the way.
End-to-End Solutions for Medical Device Manufacturers
Design, Development & Proof of Concept
Whether you need conceptual design, assembly design, DFM, or manufacturing design, Hochuen’s design team brings your concept to life. When a design is completed, Hochuen provides proof of concept validation to ensure that the design concepts of the device function properly.
Prototypes & Custom Molding
Whether you have a rough sketch scribbled onto a napkin or a CAD mockup, our engineering team can take your design and create a prototype. We offer other types of molding such as overmolding, insert molding, and LSR molding as well.
Contract Manufacturing
We provide end-to-end contract manufacturing solutions, including design, prototyping, ramping up production, and automation. Hochuen will work with you to develop a plan to scale the production of your product so as you move to high production these processes can go from partial to full automation.
Packaging, Quality Control, & Logistics
Hochuen is FDA-registered and ISO 13485 certified, and we implement quality control processes for each capability so your product is of the highest quality. Medical devices are sealed in a package format to prevent contamination or air/humidity exposure.

High-Volume Manufacturing Capabilities
Hochuen provides competitive pricing at each stage of the process compared to our competitors. Get in touch with us to see how much you can save.
Similar providers are able to prototype on a small scale, however, few are able to offer high-volume production over a quick ramp-up period. Hochuen is capable of ramping up to volumes of millions of pieces/month when needed.
Our turn-around time for prototype molds is 1~2 weeks and for production molds, it is 4-6 weeks depending on the design complexity and once the design is locked.
