ASH MEDICAL MOLDING IN CLEAN ROOM ENVIRONMENT

Expert Medical Device Manufacturing & Precision Injection Molding

For three decades, Ash Industries has been a trusted leader in manufacturing critical components for the medical industry. We are your one-stop shop for injection molding innovation, offering a vertically integrated solution that takes your product from concept to completion. Our expertise spans from molding super-tiny, high-precision medical parts to developing ergonomic, overmolded products that meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

ISO Class 7 Clean Room Manufacturing

The integrity of your medical device is paramount. At Ash Industries, we operate a state-of-the-art ISO Class 7 clean room (a Class 10,000 equivalent) to ensure the purity of your products. By meticulously controlling the particulate count in the air, we mold, assemble, and package components in an environment that guarantees they are clean and ready for sterilization. This process is absolutely critical for parts intended for implantation into the human body and for any device that must comply with strict FDA regulations.

A Fully Integrated, In-House Partner

Success in medical device manufacturing requires control and consistency at every stage. We have invested heavily in our facility to provide comprehensive in-house capabilities, reducing lead times and ensuring seamless project management.

In-House Tooling, Design & Production

We don't just mold parts; we build the tools that make them. Our in-house tooling and design for manufacturing (DFM) services allow us to optimize your product's design for efficiency, performance, and cost-effectiveness. The earlier we get involved in your project, the more we can help guide the molding configurations and control manufacturing costs for a successful outcome.

Complex Assembly & Secondary Processing

Ash Industries is perfectly positioned to handle complex projects requiring multiple components and processes. Our capabilities include:

• Multi-component assembly

• Sonic welding

• Custom packaging and decoration

• Shipping and inventory stocking

We manage every step of the process right here in our facility, ensuring your project is handled with expertise and care.

Driven by an Expert Engineering Team

Excellent equipment is only half the equation. The true strength of Ash Industries lies in our personnel. When you partner with us, you gain access to a dedicated team of engineers, including several biomedical engineers and mechanical engineers. This deep well of expertise ensures your product is designed, developed, and manufactured to succeed in a competitive marketplace.

Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Expertise

With 30 years of experience, we have the know-how to handle a diverse range of materials and manufacturing challenges. We are proficient in molding with:

• Thermoplastics

• Metal Injection Molding (MIM)

• Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)

Case Study: Multi-Component Medical Valve

As an example of our capabilities, we produce complex medical devices like this functional valve, which consists of eight different components assembled together. This product requires sonic welding and precisely mated pieces to function correctly. The material is a gamma-tinted polycarbonate, allowing it to be safely sterilized with gamma radiation before it reaches the hands of its end user. This project showcases our ability to manage intricate designs, advanced materials, and complex assembly all under one roof.

We understand the significant costs associated with developing a new medical device. Our experience allows us to identify which design configurations are expensive and what features can be modified to save you money without compromising quality. At Ash Industries, we are ready to put our expertise into action to ensure your product costs and tooling costs are minimized, setting your project up for long-term success.
