Reliable Rubber Components for Critical Medical Applications

We engineer and manufacture custom rubber and silicone components that support the performance, safety, and longevity of medical devices and diagnostic systems. With end-to-end in-house capabilities, we deliver high-purity rubber solutions designed for reliable performance in sensitive, high-stakes environments. 

When Longevity, Reliability & Patient Safety Come First

We collaborate closely with medical device manufacturers to develop custom elastomeric solutions that meet the most stringent functional and regulatory requirements.

Sterility & Sanitation

Our molded rubber components are built for demanding medical environments, supporting autoclaving and thorough sanitation to maintain sterility and reduce contamination risks.

Longevity

We formulate custom urethane and silicone materials for long-lasting durability. Proprietary sealing and edge bonding processes prevent flaring and premature failure, reducing replacement frequency and lowering total lifecycle costs.

Reliable Performance

Our compounds are engineered for consistency and stability, even in sensitive applications. For example, our static-free fetal monitor rollers prevent signal distortion, ensuring accurate heartbeat readings and dependable patient monitoring.

Form & Fit

Advanced molding and finishing techniques ensure each component integrates cleanly into its system, minimizing bonding issues and enhancing overall reliability and safety.

Custom Rubber Solutions for Monitoring, Delivery & Diagnostics

From fetal monitoring rollers to sterile room mats and silicone tubing, our components support life-saving technologies and patient care systems.  

  • Patient monitoring & diagnostic support, including custom rubber rollers for fetal monitors
  • Dental diagnostics & procedural control, including X-ray rollers for film processing and custom dental dams for moisture control during procedures
  • Fluid management & collection systems, such as feeding tubes, pumps, and blood-donating system components
  • Custom integration components, including unique rubber connectors engineered for performance, fit, and seal integrity in complex assemblies
  • Micro-miniature components for medical devices and diagnostic systems 

Your Single Source for Medical-Grade Rubber Components

We manage every stage of development and production in-house to reduce lead times, simplify the supply chain, and maintain tight quality control. Whether you’re developing a prototype or scaling to mass production, we support your process from lab to launch. 

  • Custom Material Formulation 
    With a 27-year chemistry veteran on staff, we tailor silicone, urethane, and other rubber compounds to meet your application’s specific biocompatibility, flexibility, and wear resistance needs. 
     
  • Precision Molding & Machining 
    We use injection molding and tight-tolerance machining to produce custom rubber components and tooling that prevent issues like flaring, jamming, or static interference. 
     
  • Surface Finishing & Coating 
    We perform precision grinding and finishing for smooth, accurate surfaces on rollers and diagnostic components. In-house coatings enhance cleanability, friction control, and wear resistance. 
     
  • Bonding & Assembly 
    We use specialized bonding techniques to build multi-layer rollers and integrated components with reliable fit and long-term durability in medical systems. 
     
  • Prototype to Production Support 
    We specialize in fast, scalable development, providing quick turnaround times for prototyping, pilot production, and full-scale manufacturing without sacrificing precision or reliability.
