Medical & Healthcare
Choosing a polymer for a medical application means considering more than its physical properties. Processing requirements, material consistency and supporting documentation all play a part.
At Plastribution, we bring together materials from established producers and technical support to help you make an informed choice. Whether you’re developing a new component or reviewing an existing specification, our team can help you explore the options.
Materials for a Range of Medical Applications
Medical Equipment Housings
Casings for diagnostic instruments, blood glucose monitors and blood pressure monitors.
Laboratory Consumables
Pipette tips, PCR tips and diagnostic containers.
Drug Delivery Systems
Housings, caps and components for inhalers, insulin pens and nebulisers.
Medical Components
Connectors, valves, caps, flow regulators and roller clamps.
Medical Disposables
Housings for lancing devices, syringe chambers and drip chambers.
Medical Packaging
Suitability depends on the specific grade and application requirements.
Our technical team can help you identify options and review the relevant supplier documentation.

Technical Support for Medical Applications
Whether you’re developing a new product or reviewing an existing specification,
our technical team can help you make an informed material choice.
We start with your application: what the component needs to do, how it will be manufactured and the conditions it will encounter.
Working with our supply partners, we help you narrow down potential grades and identify the information needed for evaluation.
Ways our Team Can Support:
Material Selection
We can compare material properties against your requirements, including stiffness, impact performance, clarity and chemical resistance
Processing support
We will discuss your manufacturing process and the material characteristics needed to support consistent production.
Sterilisation Requirements
