MEDICAL CUSHIONS

CHALLENGE

A medical cushions inventor had developed a custom mold for his product. The intricate design of the part, with the various angles and channels that were vital for the integrity of the cushion’s advanced performance, made successfully manufacturing the necessary volume required very difficult.

SOLUTION

Midwest Rubber’s proprietary dip molding process was perfect for this specialized cushion. Midwest Rubber was able to quickly create a sample part that exceeded the client’s rigid specifications, and received permission to begin production.

WHY MIDWEST RUBBER?

Antimicrobial

We keep the safety of our clients and their patients at the top of our mind. Exposed parts on medical equipment are touched by hundreds of hands every day. Unless the piece is cleaned after each contact, contaminants are able to multiply and create a safety hazard. We’ve solved this problem with the ability to mix our PVC products with an antimicrobial additive and hermetically seal them, making them resistant to bacteria. The antimicrobial handles and grips we produce are highly sought-after not only in the medical field, but across all industries.
