    Medical device designs continue to evolve, and more new molded products and components are entering the market than ever before. Some examples include laser-based surgical tools, micro-implants, and bioabsorbable technologies. Creating smaller and more complex medical devices necessitates more experience and precision from molders. Molders must also have comprehensive knowledge of materials behavior, particularly for advanced materials.
