Injection Molding Capabilities for Medical Device Development
Protolabs helps medical device teams move from concept to production faster with injection molding services built for rapid iteration. Our free quoting platform provides pricing plus design-for-manufacturability (DFM) guidance to ensure parts are ready for injection molding, and you can access a broad range of thermoplastics and medical-grade liquid silicone rubber (LSR) with unmatched lead times and no minimum order quantities to iterate, derisk, and scale.
When you partner with us, you work with manufacturing experts who support you throughout the product life cycle and offer flexible options like vendor color matching or the ability to supply your own resins. Our on-demand model adapts from prototyping to sustained production without requiring rigid forecasts.
CNC Machining Design Guide
In this guide to CNC machining, you'll learn how to create efficient, manufacturable metal and plastic parts for prototyping and production.
Plastic Materials for Medical Devices
From high-performance polymers to elastomers, we source and run the materials medical teams rely on.
Medical-Grade Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)
Go-to elastomer for seals and prototype implants, offering excellent biocompatibility and a wide, tunable softness range
- Wide range of hardness from very soft to firm
- Typical uses: seals, gaskets, prototypes of implants, soft-touch features
- Considerations: thermoset material—cannot be re-melted or recycled

At Edwards, time was always of the essence. Partnering with Protolabs enabledus to achieve this agility, ultimately resulting in the best possible product.Without them as a key partner, I believe we could not have achieved the speedrequired for success.

How We Support Innovation in the Medical Industry
With no minimum order quantities and a free prototype tool with on-demand manufacturing orders, we’re your partner to get to market faster for projects such as:
- Lower volume or difficult-to-forecast products
- FDA Class I and II devices, or non-implantable components
- Early-in-development projects
- Components requiring complicated supply chains
- Development stages that require design flexibility
- Parts in which we can apply early process learnings to production
- SKUs that could benefit from a secondary source
- Design verification testing, clinical trial submissions, and regulatory body submission
