Neptune Injection offers turnkey solutions for medical and life sciences companies, from mould design, to prototype tooling and full tools, to injection moulding of final parts. With ISO 9001 certification, cutting-edge technology, and clean facilities, we deliver industry-leading quality and precision in medical device mould tooling and manufacturing.
The medical field is one where precision is non-negotiable, and reliability is a must, making the exacting nature of injection mould tooling a perfect fit. Our service at Neptune Injection caters to the creation of a diverse array of medical components.
From the smallest surgical instruments to larger elements of medical machinery, each part is crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality and precision.
We offer low-medium volume moulding
The medical device sector, sometimes referred to as ‘Med Tech’ by those who work within it, is a complex one.
It consists of companies that design, manufacture, and distribute medical equipment, components, and devices for use all over the world in the private and public sectors.
It is highly regulated and is subject to stringent quality analysis and testing. Each product must be fully compliant with industry regulations if it is to enjoy full commercial rollout.
Life-changing technologies and medical products can enhance the quality of lives for those who are in need of these solutions, and they can, in some cases, prolong and even save lives.
The medical device sector contains a number of diverse healthcare products, all of which are used in frontline healthcare on a day-to-day basis.
Medical devices can take the form of apparatus, devices, test kits, equipment, diagnostic accessories and components, instruments, and implants.
It is one of the fastest-growing manufacturing sectors in the world, and also one of the most important, resulting in the creation and production of medical innovations for use all over the world.
It is also a rapidly expanding marketplace, with new inventions being created all the time, and patents being granted constantly. Research and development (R&D) investment is on the rise in this sector, reflecting the steady increase in new product development activities.
We have manufactured aluminium tooling, plastic injection moulding, rapid prototyping, and CNC machining for a variety of customers within the medical device sector.
Consistency and precision is key in medical injection moulding, even the smallest variance in a component can result in a failed device or regulatory issue. High-quality tooling ensures uniformity, tight tolerances, and reduced part variation—especially important for microfluidic devices, ophthalmic lenses, and drug delivery systems.
Choosing the right tooling depends on a number of project-specific factors. Here’s how developers can make informed decisions:
Volume Requirements: Low-volume or development-stage projects may use prototype or bridge tooling. For full-scale commercialisation, investing in robust, multi-cavity production tooling is essential.
Component Complexity: Highly detailed or micro-scale parts require ultra-precision tooling, possibly with multi-component or insert moulding capabilities.
Material Selection: Tools must be built to accommodate medical-grade polymers and withstand sterilisation methods such as autoclaving or gamma irradiation.
Lifecycle Goals: Consider whether the tool is needed for short-term use,or must support millions of cycles over several years. This will impact material choice, surface finishes, and overall investment.
Lead Times: we can offer an Insert change system around your tooling – Modular insert changes for reduced lead times.
