Biomaterial Compression Molding

A Leader In Medical Molding

As a leading industry provider since 1998, we have accumulated significant medical manufacturing expertise, with an impressive number of innovations to our credit.

PPD has positioned itself as an industry pioneer by compression molding:

• UHMW into an FDA-approved porous metal implant.
• compression mold PEEK-Optima® into near net shape bars, used to machine FDA approved spine device.
• eCIMA crosslinked UHMWpe for an FDA-approved acetabular insert.
• PEEK continuous strand carbon fiber FDA-approved intramedullary nails.
• and machine FDA-approved patient specific uni knee inserts.
