Medical technology relies on precise, dependable equipment, with fastening components that may face repeated cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. Heat, moisture, and cleaning chemicals can degrade unsuitable materials, affecting fastening security and equipment performance.

Explore our PEEK, PEEK GF30, PTFE, and polycarbonate (PC) fastening components for medical equipment, diagnostic instruments, and device assemblies. PEEK combines mechanical strength, electrical insulation, and resistance to many chemicals, while PEEK GF30 provides increased stiffness and resistance to deformation under sustained loads.

PTFE offers excellent chemical resistance and low friction, making it useful for selected washers, insulating parts, and sealing components. Its tendency to deform under sustained load requires consideration in fastening applications. PC provides impact resistance, electrical insulation, and transparency in suitable grades, making it an option for lightweight fittings and assemblies where visibility is useful.

From screws and nuts to washers, spacers, and custom parts, polymer components offer versatile alternatives to metal. Material selection should match the intended loads, cleaning chemicals, and sterilization methods, with appropriate medical grades and biocompatibility assessment where patient contact is involved.
