Introduction
Delrin/POM CNC Machined Parts are key components in the manufacture of medical equipment. They are made of high-quality Delrin POM engineering plastics through advanced computer numerical control (CNC) processing technology. This material is widely used in the manufacture of medical equipment with its excellent mechanical properties, chemical stability, and processing accuracy, including but not limited to surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, customized prostheses and orthotics, and medical equipment housings and components.
Features
High precision
The high precision of Delrin/POM CNC Machined Parts For Medical Equipment comes from the precise control of CNC technology and the low shrinkage rate of Delrin POM material itself (usually within 0.2%). Delrin POM material can achieve micron-level processing accuracy through CNC processing technology, usually within ±0.01 mm.
Wear resistance
Delrin POM material exhibits a low friction coefficient, typically ranging between 0.1 and 0.3, which is significantly lower compared to nylon (with a friction coefficient of approximately 0.3 to 0.6) and ABS (with a friction coefficient of roughly 0.4 to 0.6). Under the same friction conditions, the wear of Delrin/POM material is usually only 1/3 to 1/2 of nylon and ABS. In medical equipment, such as catheters and surgical forceps, the wear resistance of Delrin/POM material ensures that they can maintain good use status during long-term use.
Good biocompatibility
The Delrin POM material utilized in Delrin/POM CNC-machined parts for medical equipment complies with the biocompatibility standards set by the FDA and ISO, indicating its safety for human use and its incapacity to elicit allergic or rejection reactions. Medical implants made of Delrin POM material have extremely low infection rates after implantation, usually less than 1%.
