Medical CNC Machining: Why Hospitals Trust BCJ Plastic Products

Plastic has played a huge role in the revolution of the medical industry. Modern healthcare would not be what it is today without the use of plastic materials. Medical-grade plastic permeates the industry, from the MRI machine to surgical gloves. CNC machining is often used to produce these plastic products, which are high-quality, agile and made to exact measurements.

These days, polymers have replaced metals, ceramics and glass in many products. They provide lower production costs, simpler processing and easier sterilisation procedures. Medical equipment and devices also need to be able to withstand high-pressure environments and rigorous cleaning procedures. Repetitive cleaning and sterilising processes include aggressive disinfectants and extreme heat or steam. This means that medical equipment must have superior strength and durability and be made with precision. That’s where medical machining comes in.

But what are some of the medical-grade plastic uses in hospitals? What are some of the products produced by CNC machining?

3 Reasons Why Hospitals Trust BCJ Plastic Products with Medical Machining

Quality and Precision

The standards and restrictions around medical products and equipment are understandably extremely high. CNC machining provides the precision required.

CNC machines use computer-generated code and exact mechanical movements. Computer software dictates the movement of tools and machinery. The software can be used to control a range of complex machines including mills, routers, grinders and lathes. This helps complex production processes take less time and be more exact. With expert CNC machining in Perth, we pride ourselves on high quality, precise tolerance manufacturing and an in-depth knowledge of the regulation requirements.
