As leaders in Direct Compression Moulding, we work with companies across the globe that have an orthopaedic implant product or concept. Using our technological expertise we can bring to market new innovative product solutions to address failure modes typical within orthopaedic implants.
This includes producing product concepts that require UHMWPE to be moulded directly onto or into another steel, titanium or ceramic part. Our knowledge enables us to navigate our partners through the complexities of production, compliance and accreditation, saving them valuable time and money.
If you need advanced Direct Compression Moulding expertise to enhance the quality of your product then speak to the leader in orthopaedic plastics manufacturing.
We develop strong partnerships with our customers, visiting their sites or end user’s sites, to provide bespoke orthopaedic engineering solutions.
We pride ourselves on being able to produce high quality, complex components quicker and more cost effectively than our competitors.
Many ideas simply don’t get past the concept stage due to the technical, regulatory and cost barriers that exist. Working with us helps you take back control of your business.
We are experts in all aspects of orthopaedic implantable grade plastics, meaning you don’t have to be.
We have an impressive portfolio of high-end Direct Compression Moulding machines and unrivalled machining know-how.
With a dedicated laboratory and skilled team of engineers we have a proud reputation of making the highest quality products.
All Orthoplastic’s processes used in the manufacture of medical grade products are validated with all data stored for a minimum of 55 years.
Quality standards are also applied such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and ISO 14001. Full product trace-ability techniques are employed during the manufacture of all medical grade material.
With in-house testing, on site plastics manufacturing, design, quality assurance, supply chain and project management, we’re the COMPLETE solution.
Each orthopaedic implant is moulded directly. This enables the manufacture of a component with a highly polished direct moulded surface, by removing the machining surface definition present on the articulated surface of conventionally machined products.
By undertaking the compression moulding operation over a smaller projected area greater control is attained over the pressure and temperature cycles, which improves the properties of the product.
These design and aesthetically pleasing products provide an alternative market solution to any OEM’s portfolio.
Although Direct Compression Moulding is a premium method of sintering the polymer - compared to traditional consolidation methods - it has the capability to produce products which cannot currently be produced, pushing the design envelope for orthopaedic components.
At Orthoplastics, quality encompasses everything across all aspects of production. We continually update our quality systems and adopt a best practice approach across the business.
