What is the difference between medical molding and other types of molding?

Question

I'm rather confused, and I've tried searching through both google and yahoo, but i couldn't get my answer, please help me!! =(

Answer 1

Generally speaking, medical stuff has 2 characteristics versus 'common' stuff:

1. Insulation is of higher quality and designed so leakage currents are minimized and much lower than commercial grade insulation.

2. The materials are made to withstand the temperatures of an autoclave (250 degrees +) to allow it to be sterilized.
