Foam padding plays a vital role in a variety of uses in the medical industry. Whether it is to provide cushioning or custom orthotics, several types of foams are available to meet specific medical requirements and patient needs. The medical foam market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% between 2022 and 2032, reaching a market value of $38 billion.
If you're choosing the perfect custom case for your medical device, it's critical that you choose the right interior. Whenever temperature- or pressure-sensitive medical devices, calibration equipment, or electronic devices are shipped in a custom case, it's important that they don't slide or get damaged during transit. Medical-grade foam is the best way to ensure that the lives that depend on your medical equipment benefit from it.
Needle Collector Foam
Also known as "medical foam," medical grade foam is used for a variety of applications in the healthcare industry.
Medical grade foam has sterile qualities, tensile strength and durability, and is stain and fungus resistant. While most medical foams contain viscoelasticity, industry requirements require that they meet UL 94 safety standards.
It can be manufactured in any shape, size or thickness and is used in a variety of applications in the healthcare industry, including
Sealing and sealing medical devices
Fluid management as a long-term wound dressing
Patient cushioning and positioning aids
As a medical foam manufacturer, there are specific factors to consider when developing your product, such as performance, biocompatibility, sterilization, and potential contamination.
Medical PE Foam
Most medical custom case manufacturers use three core types of medical grade foam, polyethylene foam, cross-linked polyethylene foam, and polyurethane foam.
Polyethylene foams are designed to be very lightweight, very durable, easy to manufacture and mold, and non-abrasive. They are great at preventing crushing or damage to medical equipment inside your custom enclosures and provide great shock absorption. Better yet, polyethylene foams are completely resistant to rot, bacteria, moisture and chemical damage.
These are the highest quality and best choice for medical grade foams. Customized shell inserts made from cross-linked polyethylene foam are durable and beautiful to look at. This type of foam can also be used to provide protection for Class A medical devices.
Polyurethane Foam Tray
These foams are medical grade, but are not always suitable for transporting medical devices. Instead, these are typically used for mobile device types. They offer good protection and can be purchased at a low cost.
