Plastic parts for the medical industry need to be clean, functional, and in no way interfere with the medical care being provided. With thermoplastics, all these outcomes are produced while still allowing attractive design and aesthetics.
If you want sleek designs and cutting-edge materials, we have what you need with medical-grade plastic options.

Thermoplastics in the Medical Industry
Thanks to advances in thermoplastics, medical-grade plastics are more versatile than ever before. They can be sterile and risk-free to use in medical settings while still allowing for design options that make spaces feel safe, welcoming, and professional. MRI, CAT, and other imaging tools can be designed to be kid-friendly or reassuring in appearance with some simple design choices.
The Benefits of Thermoplastics in the Medical Industry
Wear-resistant, heat-resistant, chemical-resistant, and easy to clean, KYDEX thermoplastics are perfectly suited for high-intensity settings. Plus, whereas some medical-grade plastics and alternative materials fade or become brittle over time, our modern thermoplastic options retain their new look far longer than other materials.
Utilizing the right medical-grade thermoplastics means durability, design flexibility, and affordability. With high-performing and versatile design options you can select anything from sleek pearlescent surfaces to homey wood grain designs. These options allow medical-grade plastics to be used for machinery housings, patient beds, carts, desks, and more.
We understand that sterility doesn’t have to appear bland or cold, and our goal at Industrial Custom Products is to offer options that satisfy your professional needs and personal design concepts.
Best Thermoplastics for Medical Applications
We offer a variety of medical-grade plastics that can get the job done in a high-stress medical setting:
KYDEX®: Kydex materials provide superior impact resistance, excellent formability, UL 94 V-0 fire ratings, and high resistance to corrosive chemicals and cleaning solutions. They do all this while also offering a wide range of aesthetic choices making them a perfect solution for medical equipment applications. The color and texture options available keep surfaces looking new, longer than painted metals and fiberglass.
Polycarbonate: Polycarbonates can withstand high impacts, have impressive clarity, and can take intense sterilization procedures. These factors make it a familiar and reliable option in the world of medical-grade plastics. Due to its shatter-resistant qualities, polycarbonate plastic products provide a perfect solution for viewing areas requiring optical clarity.
PETG: PETG products are well-known for their flexibility and durability. Temperature-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and fully recyclable, they’re perfect for thermoforming. PETG products are also food-safe and well-suited for single-use needs like medical packaging, clear covers and films, or any type of discardable medical plastic.
