Precision Plastic Components for Medical & Healthcare Applications
Designed to support demanding medical and healthcare applications.
Depending on the application and requirements, Crestwood can support tight tolerances, repeatable production and documented quality.
Real Reshoring Experience in Medical & Healthcare
Medical and healthcare components are one of the categories Crestwood has actual, recent experience bringing back to domestic production. Over the last 24 months, Crestwood has worked with customers to reshore a variety of projects, including medical and healthcare devices, alongside consumables and lighting components.
That experience, combined with Crestwood’s existing work as an FDA-registered medical device molding facility, gives medical and healthcare customers a partner who understands both the production side and the transition side of the equation.

Materials
Material selection for medical and healthcare components depends on the specific application, its requirements and its regulatory context. Crestwood discusses material options project by project rather than defaulting to a single resin family. See Plastic Resin Materials for the material considerations Crestwood evaluates across projects.
Domestic Manufacturing for Medical & Healthcare Programs
Medical and healthcare programs are often sensitive to supply-chain disruption, since a stockout can affect patient care rather than just a production schedule. Domestic manufacturing can help reduce exposure to international shipping delays and simplify communication around quality and specification changes. Crestwood has direct experience helping customers evaluate and execute this kind of transition. Learn more on the Reshoring page.
