Frequently Asked Questions

Which material is best for medical device enclosures?

Medical device enclosures are made from high-performance materials chosen for durability, sterilization resistance, and compliance with medical regulations.

  • Polycarbonate (PC) is widely used for its impact resistance and transparency, ideal for imaging and diagnostic equipment.

  • ABS is a lightweight, cost-effective option for electronic device housings.

  • PEEK is preferred for its biocompatibility and high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications.

  • Medical-grade polypropylene (PP) is chosen for its chemical resistance and ease of sterilization.

  • For stronger enclosures, stainless steel (316L) offers corrosion resistance, while aluminum provides lightweight strength with EMI shielding for electronic devices.

  • Titanium is ideal for implantable or surgical enclosures due to its biocompatibility and durability.

All materials meet ISO 13485, IEC 60601, and FDA standards for medical applications. Let us help you choose the best material for your medical enclosure needs.

Can medical enclosures be manufactured in small batches?

Yes, we offer low-volume production using CNC machining, vacuum casting (or reaction injection molding), and injection molding for medical device prototyping and limited series.

How long does it take to manufacture a custom medical enclosure?

Lead times depend on design complexity, material choice, and production method, but we offer rapid prototyping and short-run production to meet tight deadlines.

Clients Feedback

We received the parts within 10 days, which is very much appreciated. On receiving them, we were very surprised by the high-quality appearance. In fact, the part looked exactly like an injected part. These have also been sold in our pre-series.

Protolis has done an excellent job for my design studio. I was very satisfied with the finish of the complex parts made for my lamp prototypes. The compliance with my 3D models and the quality of finish are very professional. Fast delivery and very good protection.
