Medical partners and engineers like you have been asking for a micro molded medical cannula for over five years now. The reasons are well-known. They are medically problematic, and expensive to produce. 

Some engineering problems cannot be solved with precision plastic molding, but as material science and engineering technology has evolved, that list gets shorter every day. We are proud to finally add the medical micro molded cannula to the list of micro mold success. 

Why use a micro molded cannula?

From a patient-care perspective, physicians are well aware some cannulas may be rigid and/or cause irritation as tissue tries to expel the foreign the body. Plus, traditional medical cannulas are expensive to produce. A micro molded cannula solves these challenges.

This is of interest to medical technology engineers because it gives you the ability to integrate an intuitive interface where component consolidation can be achieved. Molded cannulas mitigate the need for complex, low-yield processes where tipping, flaring, and gluing are commonly used.

We collaborate with you to optimize key characteristics such as flexibility, rigidity, and size. In this way, you achieve the best experience in comfort and performance for your end user, the patient. Accumold’s approach to an All-Plastic micro molded cannula, is geared to simplify the manufacturing process where conventional extruded cannulas are used.

Cannula materials

The single shot micro molded cannula has a thin-wall and primarily utilizing polypropylene, PEBAX, or Teflon, making it thin and flexible.

Developing your cannula with Accumold will significantly cut costs and allow scalable manufacturing in drug delivery, diabetes management, insulin delivery, CGM, eye surgeries, and the pump market. To get a virtual product sample overview sent to your inbox, enter your name and email address.
